Foreign Language Talents in China
The demand is also increasing day by day.
It should be said that the prospects are optimistic.
However, due to the overheated enrollment of foreign language majors in previous years,
this
In recent years, the overall employment situation has exceeded demand.
Among them,
Normal universities have a high demand for foreign language majors.
Big,
It is easier for foreign language graduates in normal universities to find jobs.
Even many graduates from non-normal foreign language colleges.
I also want to teach.
This is because the traditional English education is middle school education and university education.
Now the era of English education is developing continuously.
from
The former middle school moved to the present primary school,
Even kindergarten education,
Therefore, the demand for normal English talents will remain unchanged.
Fixed growth. Judging from our existing teachers, well-educated English teachers are still very scarce.
at present
Great changes have taken place in the development of the whole society.
English has become a tool,
More and more people can
Apply it freely enough.
The English level of early government officials or business managers was not very good.
Need a special translator.
To help,
For a period of time, there was a shortage of translators.
With the opening up of China,
The gradual development of English education
Popularize,
People's awareness of learning English is also increasing.
The environment for learning English is also improving.
Many entrepreneurs or managers have already done this.
This skill,
No longer need specialized English talents to help him,
This has a great demand for pure English learners.
Reduce.
At the same time,
Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of English proficiency of non-English majors, English majors are facing many powerful challenges.
Hands. Therefore, non-normal English majors will face greater pressure.
Among non-normal foreign language majors, English, Japanese, Russian, German, French and Spanish are in the greatest demand.
Spanish,
Italian is also in great demand.
Graduates of these languages are more likely to find jobs.
High-level talents
The supply does not meet the demand.
However, the employment situation of some small languages is not ideal.
Such as some languages in Europe, Asia and Africa,
Chuhan
(

fresh
)
English is basically the same as Arabic, so it is difficult to get a job. At present, the Ministry of Education is very interested in these small languages.
Enrollment has been controlled. Students majoring in minor languages are very popular if they can master a professional language.
Now let's get a general idea of the graduation of foreign language majors through the employment situation of foreign language majors in several schools this year.
The employment situation of students.

According to the excerpt
Official website, Shanghai International Studies University)
By analyze that employment data of foreign language graduates in several university in recent years,
As you can see,
English major
The employment field is relatively broad,
High employment rate,
Other fields account for a large proportion,
Explain that its major is wrong.
Mouth phenomenon is more.
The proportion of graduates engaged in education is high;
The postgraduate entrance examination team continues to grow;
Civil servant translation,
The number of employees is small;
The field of foreign trade is becoming less and less reserved.
Compared with other comprehensive applied English majors, pure English major is better.
The business situation is not good.
Let me look at the situation of various English-related industries.
A way out for English majors
teacher
It is inquired that quite a few English majors in several schools have gone to be English teachers. However, near
In recent years, the teaching profession has been saturated, and students who want to teach in junior high school or high school have met it.
Unexpected difficulties. On the internet, a girl who graduated from English major this year said that her class has
19
People,
She went to the English training class of an educational institution as a teacher with several classmates. "This is no way.
I think that at the beginning, English teachers in high schools had to wait for open recruitment, and there were few opportunities.
It's an English-related job anyway. "She said," only two students went home and became junior high school seniors.
Teacher, other teachers are basically in the training class. "Now as a teacher in the training class, the treatment is not good.
Except for professional organizations such as New Oriental, they are all just.
2000
More monthly salary.
The way out for English majors
translate
In the eyes of many people, after learning a foreign language, it is natural to be an interpreter after graduation. But the truth is,
Among the English majors in several schools, less than one is engaged in professional translation.
3%
The first is translation, the most boring category. Translation is more of a clerical job.
Translate by the way. Translation manuals, translation software, translation manuals, customer information, technical documents, etc.
.
Then there is interpretation. Interpretation can be divided into ordinary accompanying translation and conference interpretation (including simultaneous interpretation).
The threshold of ordinary escort translation is not high. In fact, a person with good spoken English or an English major.
All students can have accompanying translators, because there is no accompanying reading, so it is very unstable and part-time.
Sometimes, foreign businessmen are generally required to talk about business or attend exhibitions occasionally, and most of them
Under no circumstances do you need a full-time translator.
Conference interpretation or simultaneous interpretation is indeed a high-paying profession.
A meeting
You can earn it in two days.
5000- 1
It is normal to have more than 10 thousand,
This kind of translation can generally lead a well-off life,
There's a car
There is a house or something, but it will never make a fortune, because the demand is too small, and basically there is only Beijing in the country.
Shanghai,
Guangzhou can accommodate dozens of professional simultaneous interpreters.
This is because international conferences are usually held.
Or the opening ceremony of the exhibition or the meeting of a super-large foreign company needs simultaneous interpretation. How many international conferences can China hold a year?
Answer?
The market is small,
Talent requirements are also very high.
No matter how good you are,
It is destined that most interpretation-oriented people will
It was brushed off,
No matter how hard you work,
How awesome,
No one can guarantee that you will walk through that narrow and invincible road.
A wooden bridge.
The third way out for English majors
foreign trade
In terms of foreign trade, more people go to the coast, but in fact, those foreign trade companies have requirements for English.
Not tall. Most small foreign trade companies only require college English.
six
Level. In fact, they don't pay special attention to English.
Is the language good,
Pay more attention to the ability to talk about business.
So they prefer to choose something more extroverted,
A good communicator.
Just,
English is passable.
Because many people use conference interpreters,
What simultaneous interpretation units want is not to be able to communicate with foreigners.
Someone who talks about things.
,
But professional and skilled talents who can talk business and sign contracts with them in English.
The fourth way out for English majors
civil servant
I don't know until I check. I was shocked when I checked! Among the national civil servants, English major is welcome.
A * * * only a few! Either the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Customs! However, there are so many in the country.
English majors, people from Peking University, Tsinghua, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Shanghai Foreign Studies University and Shanghai Foreign Studies University are waiting there with red eyes.
Where can we get these little people in the room? Or not.
Move! Move!
Taking the civil service exam is a way out, just like the seam where the fat man's eyes narrowed.
The way out for English majors
Take the postgraduate entrance examination
Postgraduate entrance examination for English majors is one of the most tragic people.
Because of math,
Because of the specialized courses.
If you choose to continue studying
If you are a graduate student majoring in English,
Either study linguistics,
Pure academic nature such as literature,
Comparison of use value
Low, or learn a master's degree in translation. Or cross-disciplinary exams. Cross-professional examination and research, the direct problem is the number of people.
Studying, most majors now require taking math exams. Required courses of postgraduate mathematics such as linear algebra and probability theory,
English majors have already lost at the starting line.
Of course, this is not to deny interdisciplinary.
Postgraduate entrance examination, let's say the difficulty ratio.
80%
People in other majors are bigger. In general,
In the postgraduate entrance examination of most majors, the gap between English majors is relatively small.
Only a few more points, but most science and engineering students take more math tests than English majors.
20
For those students who can succeed in computer or finance, getting more marks is admirable.
Because when the disadvantage already exists, they dare to challenge,
Spend countless hours teaching yourself advanced mathematics,
Start near zero.
The self-taught courses for computer majors and economic management majors take many times as much time and sweat as others.
Postgraduate entrance examination is a wooden bridge, and cross-disciplinary and cross-school postgraduate entrance examination is a narrow and risky wooden bridge.
The current employment situation of English majors is not ideal. Although the employment rate is high, as far as employment is concerned,
Because most graduates have no proper employment,
Professional advantages have not been brought into play.
With the development of economy,
Market versus Britain
The absorption ability of language professionals is reduced,
The phenomenon of oversupply of English talents is becoming more and more serious.
English major
The employment situation of graduates is getting more and more severe.
The employment situation of English majors is grim, and we should recognize several problems:
1.
Tool major, you need to "enter the business" after graduation.
The characteristic of tool specialty is that the specialty itself is just a tool.
If this kind of major wants to get better career development,
The most critical choice is to enter the industry.
Otherwise, the career path will be
It's getting narrower.
The first choice is to take a profound road;
The second option is to quickly enter an industry or position.
Yes, for example, take advantage of English to enter the foreign trade industry.
2.
Eight customs, practicality is the last word.
"Unit enterprises are interested in strength,
Band 8 exam is just a dream come true.
Be worthy of being an English major,
solid
International work has little impact.
"
The TEM-8 certificate may be a trump card for graduates to find jobs.
But it may not be a green channel.
Certificate.
Blindly pursuing the grade figures of certificates,
While ignoring the overall improvement of one's own abilities,
In the end, it will only be with
Run counter to the ideal.
3.
In order to meet the needs of employment, knowledge needs to be diversified.
Now no company just needs to know a special subject.
Employees who are weak or even ignorant in other aspects.
summary
Only compound talents with high ability can gain a foothold in society. Therefore, English majors should pay attention to all-round development,
For example, learning mathematics, finance, financial knowledge and so on.
