CUHK was the top choice among recruiters followed by PolyU and UST.
Director of AMAC Human Resources Consultants, Alexa Chow Yee-ping thinks employers are impressed by CUHK graduates because they do not mind starting out from the bottom and working overtime.
“Some HKU graduates gave employers the impression that they are not willing to start from the basics and thought they should be put on bigger more important roles,” she told Human Resources (ref 2).
