| Abstract | Chinese international students (CISs) have been the largest group of international students in the United States (U.S.) for many years. However, there has been a decline in CIS enrollment over the past two academic years. Little attention has been devoted to supporting CISs in navigating the current job markets in China and the U.S. following the COVID-19 pandemic and international tensions. This review emphasizes the need for support to help CISs prepare for their careers in the current fast-paced job market and examines the cultural barriers affecting their career paths. Additionally, the review presents the practical implications and future research prospects of CIS career readiness for career service and higher education professionals. |
