Is CET-4 important for electronic information majors?

Nowadays, CET-4 in English is not linked to the diploma in many schools... CET-4 in English can still graduate.

In fact, many companies in society are following the trend. Even if English is useless to his company, he still requires to pass CET-4. Therefore, Level 4 is equivalent to a stepping stone to competition in the workplace.

The reason why you say it is a stepping stone is because you think that a person who has passed Level 4 can really communicate with a foreigner without any hindrance. Can he translate some literature? I think even if you have passed level 6, you may not dare to take this guarantee!

I once applied for a job at an employer. I failed to pass level 4 at that time. Our nuclear major is quite special. Generally, an employer comes to recruit people in my junior year. I thought about it and realized that I might not be able to pass CET-4 in my senior year, so I directly asked the recruiter: "Why do you have to pass CET-4? In fact, like your unit There don’t seem to be many opportunities for international exchanges.”

In the end, what the person said was, “We didn’t have this requirement before, but once we went abroad for training, someone failed to pass Level 4, and we still You have to have a translator, which is very embarrassing.”

Actually, now that I’m working, I realize that if a company that is not a foreign-funded enterprise wants to arrange for you to go abroad for training, you have no idea how hard the background is! Without backstage, let alone training, you are basically the target of bullying in the company. Although many or even all companies now openly use the slogan of fairness, for example, if there are two people, one is a relative of the company boss, and the other is an ordinary employee, and they work together, don’t talk about how well they are doing. Finally, in terms of evaluation, how do you think a middle-level leader would write a review? If something goes wrong, do you think the boss's relatives will share the responsibilities equally with the ordinary employees? ——This is basically impossible!

In short, many employers require employees to pass Level 4 for the sake of "face". It does not mean that Level 4 will be of much use to future work. Our company is currently translating some professional foreign language materials. Those who have passed CET-6 can’t even use it. What can you do if you have passed CET-4?

I remember that there was once a state-owned enterprise, a large unit, that imported anti-corrosion materials from Germany and then piled those materials outside in Shanghai. As a result, a week later, a German expert came to take a look and was furious and said, "Why didn't these materials be refrigerated in the freezer? If they were left outside in the sun, all the materials would be scrapped!" So, here comes the Hundreds of billions of materials were just thrown away... Later, the company's executives called Germany and said that the German technical information did not mention how to preserve these materials. As a result, the people in Germany directly stated the preservation methods of those materials on which pages and lines of the instructions... both in English and German! At that time, the company's translators were also very good. They had German translators and English translators. In the end, it was not useless at all!

★From the perspective of simply looking for a job, there is a huge difference between those who have passed Level 4 and those who have not!
