Do Spanish majors choose central enterprises and state-owned enterprises to work abroad?

Everything has two sides. As far as overseas work is concerned, there is no difference between good and bad. Life itself is a process of constantly facing choices and constantly giving up choices. Over the years, I have lost a lot, but I have also gained a lot. To sum up, the gains outweigh the losses. If I don't regret my choice, I don't think I have ever regretted it. In fact, when you choose Spanish as your major in college, you should know that your choices after graduation are very limited. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, CCTV, Spanish-speaking countries' embassies in China, central enterprises and state-owned enterprises abroad, large listed companies abroad, small and medium-sized trading companies abroad and full-time translators remain unchanged. Of course, some Spanish majors have entered the four major accounting firms, and the world's top 500 will not be discussed.

As far as working abroad itself is concerned, if you are not unfortunately assigned to Equatorial Guinea, Latin America should be the place with the greatest demand for Spanish professionals. In most parts of Latin America, if the project enterprise is not in the construction site or the mining enterprise is in the mine, the conditions will not be difficult. Basically, everyone lives in a good area (rich area or embassy area), and the local consumption level is not outrageous. Moreover, there are various places worth exploring, such as Amazon forest, Inca culture of Machu Picchu, equatorial center of Ecuador, Bolivia salt lake, Antarctic snow mountain, carnival, samba, food, beauty and beautiful scenery, and so many places worth exploring. Salary levels vary, but most of them are based on basic salary+subsidies for going abroad (family leave subsidies)+local subsidies (transportation, communication, hardship subsidies, etc.). ), of course, including year-end awards and project awards. As far as career development path is concerned, within my management scope, there are about 60 colleagues who graduated from Spanish major like you. If you are not engaged in sales positions, but only take translation as the job itself, it is difficult to talk about the so-called career development path from the perspective of language advantages, which is the same in central enterprises, state-owned enterprises and private enterprises. But I still want to say first, whether it is a boy or a girl, I think it is very worthwhile to work abroad for about three years after graduation. First, you will be 25-26 years old in three years. Second, there are many opportunities to change careers at this time, whether it is career change or job hopping. Don't come out to see the world and feel it when you are young. You won't think about it when you settle down in China. Back to career development itself, why do I say that it is difficult to talk about career development only by language advantage? Because if your Spanish level can't reach the level of simultaneous interpretation, language is not your core competitiveness, and you can be replaced at any time. So I have been telling the following people that apart from Spanish, we must improve ourselves at work and cultivate our core competitiveness outside Spanish. For example, your level of writing a report, doing PPT, or having the opportunity to work in human resources or marketing. When your language advantage can be combined with another skill, it is when your personal ability is maximized, not just as a translator.
