What language is good for employment and has good prospects?

The similarity in employment situations of minority languages ??stems from similarities in employment channels. Although there are many differences in language structure, they are very similar in employment channels, mainly concentrated in In the following fields:

1. Government civil servants; 2. College teachers; 3. News media organizations; 4. Foreign companies and Sino-foreign joint ventures; 5. Foreign affairs offices of various provinces and cities; 6. Foreign trade companies; 7 .Travel companies; 8. Overseas study and training institutions; 9. Cultural communication companies; 10. Freelancers.

In general, the difference in the employment situation of minor languages ????is mainly affected by three aspects: the number of people learning this language, the number of countries that speak this language and their economic conditions, and the relationship between China and these countries. relations, including geographical and political and economic aspects.

Portuguese

There are about 7 Portuguese-speaking countries and regions. Most of the Portuguese-speaking countries are concentrated in Africa, with 5 of them. In terms of language, Portuguese and Spanish are like brothers; in terms of employment, Portuguese and French are as close as brothers. Like French, Africa is also a major battlefield for Portuguese-speaking people to find employment. When it comes to Portuguese-speaking Africa, one country must be mentioned - Angola.

Angola’s contribution to China is not just basketball in the Olympics. It is also China’s largest trading partner in Africa. In early 2008, it even became China’s largest oil supplier. The economic complementarity between China and Angola is also great. It goes without saying. China also maintains good economic relations with Mozambique, another Portuguese-speaking African country, and is currently the country's sixth largest investor. Judging from the information collected online, if you go to Africa to learn Portuguese, the starting salary will reach 2,000-2,500 US dollars. This kind of salary level is beyond the reach of other small languages. It’s okay if you don’t want to go to Africa. Brazil, the Portuguese-speaking South American football kingdom, is also an important position for absorbing Portuguese-speaking talents. Brazil, China, Russia, and India are currently known as the "BRIC countries" and have the greatest economic development potential. Whether now or in the future, the current number of Portuguese graduates is far from meeting the demand.

Portugal, the homeland of Portuguese-speaking people, does not provide many employment opportunities, but the demand is still there. Spanish There are more than 20 Spanish-speaking countries and regions. Spanish is a bit like French five years ago. There are more than 20 Spanish-speaking countries, but there are currently only more than 20 Spanish-speaking colleges in China. Judging from the training market in the past two years, Spanish is heating up the fastest. On the one hand, it is due to the opening of the study abroad market in American countries, and on the other hand, there is more demand for Spanish-speaking talents in the market. Most Spanish-speaking countries are concentrated in Latin America, which are greatly influenced by the West and are not highly dependent on China's economy. The demand for Spanish-speaking talents is relatively stable. The current good employment situation is due to the law of scarcity. It is predicted that the number of Spanish language colleges will increase in the past few years. In addition, the right people are gradually becoming available in the right positions. Spanish language employment will have a huge impact in the future. Probably there will no longer be such an obvious advantage.

French

There are more than 40 French-speaking countries and regions. French is the language that is used in the most countries and has the widest range besides English. However, in terms of employment, the situation is a bit embarrassing. The current French major is very much like an African preparatory class, continuously supplying translation talents to Africa, because most of the French-speaking countries are located in Africa.

Although African countries are economically underdeveloped, they are rich in natural resources and most of them are untapped, so they often have good salaries. But it is worth noting that there are indeed too many graduates majoring in French. The number of colleges offering French has basically doubled in the past five years, and students studying in France are also returning to China one after another. This has had an impact on the employment of French majors. .

German

There are about 5 German-speaking countries and regions. The employment situation of German is basically in a stable state, which will not surprise or disappoint people. In terms of attracting talents to foreign companies, German companies perform best after Japanese companies, especially in the automotive industry. In the past three years, due to the adjustment of study abroad policies, studying in Germany has been at a low point, and the number of German language training enrollments has also dropped slightly. It feels that German is not as popular in China as before. However, for German majors, this may be a good thing, as there will be fewer competitors joining in the fun.

Japanese

Japanese-speaking country——Japan Among the world's top 500 companies, Japan has always ranked second. Due to geographical relations, a large number of Japanese companies invest and build factories in China. Moreover, unlike European and American companies, Japanese companies use English as their office language regardless of their mother tongue. Japanese companies have absorbed a large number of graduates majoring in Japanese, and now there are many colleges offering Japanese language, reaching 227, which is almost half of the number of English colleges. It is not difficult for those who study Japanese to find a job, but it is not easy to find a good job. Many of them work as clerks in Japanese companies.

Italian

Italian-speaking countries - mainly Italy. Italian does not have a field that can absorb a large number of graduates, but because the number of colleges and universities is small and they are not young, The annual enrollment, coupled with the unstable policy of studying abroad in Italy, does not have a large number of returning graduates like French, German and Spanish. Therefore, the advantage of Italian employment is that there is little competition pressure, but the disadvantage is that the channels are not wide.

Russian

In addition to Russia, there are about 10 Russian-speaking countries and regions. Russian is not the only common language in several other countries. In countries such as Ukraine, the status of Russian has been weakened. trend. The Russian economy has recovered rapidly in recent years. Not only in some border areas of Heilongjiang and Xinjiang, Sino-Russian trade is very active, but also in the core areas of Beijing. Many street signs and store signs are bilingual in Chinese and Russian. scale. There are many Russian-language colleges and universities, but many of them have not recruited many students in recent years. Russian-language employment is generally in a state of recovery.

Arabic

There are more than 20 Arabic-speaking countries and regions, mainly distributed in West Asia, East Africa and North Africa. It gives people the impression of desert and oil. . In addition to the 10 small-language industries mentioned, the employment of Arabic-speaking graduates is closely related to petroleum. PetroChina, Sinopec, and CNOOC are all the destinations for Arabic-speaking graduates. From a customary perspective, although this does not mean that it is difficult for Albanian-speaking girls to find a job, it is indeed not easy for girls to have a better development. There is a lack of well-known companies in Arabic-speaking countries, and the idea of ??learning Arabic to join a foreign company is unrealistic. Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco and several other countries use Arabic as their official language. In addition, in countries where French is widely spoken, many companies also have Arabic translators.

Korean

Korean-speaking countries - South Korea and North Korea. Korean companies investing in China include large companies like Samsung and LG, and more are small companies. The distribution of Korean companies in China is very regional. There are more of them in Shandong, Northeast, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong, and most of them are in second- and third-tier cities, such as Dalian, Qingdao, Yantai, Weihai, Rizhao, and Dongguan. The salary level is not high. There are also those with a monthly salary of more than 1,000 yuan.

Among the nine minor languages, the value of the Korean major is relatively low. It is the major that pays the least attention to academic qualifications but to actual Korean proficiency. Many companies recruit people as long as they have a college degree or even a high school degree or above. This is because, firstly, Korean is relatively easy to master, secondly, many Koreans in China are born with bilingual talents in Chinese and Korean, and thirdly, there are now many Korean students and employees in China, many of whom are good at Chinese, and they tend to live in clusters. There is minimal dependence on Korean translation.
