If the college entrance examination volunteers to fill in small languages, what will the employment prospects be like?

Over the years, the employment situation of Portuguese major graduates has been good. With the continuous expansion of political, diplomatic, economic, trade, scientific and cultural exchanges and cooperation between China and Portuguese-speaking countries, the employment prospects of Portuguese-speaking majors will be better.

The starting salary of students majoring in Portuguese will reach 2000-2500 dollars, equivalent to RMB 10k- 15k. This salary level is very high in small languages. Moreover, the current number of Portuguese-speaking graduates is far from meeting the demand, so there is no need to worry about job opportunities after graduation.

Government foreign affairs departments, universities, news media organizations, foreign enterprises and Sino-foreign joint ventures, provincial and municipal foreign affairs offices, foreign trade companies, travel companies, overseas study and training institutions, and cultural communication institutions. However, judging from the recruitment positions announced by the Liaison Office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce and other ministries in recent years, the demand for minority language professionals is also very limited. Except for a few widely used languages, most small languages only recruit 1 ~ 2 people.

As for enterprises' demand for small languages, it is also very limited. Because there is no distinction between high and low languages, what kind of small languages enterprises need depends not only on the local economic development and local cultural atmosphere, but also on the target countries of local investment, especially the relationship between China and small language countries, including geographical and political relations.

The official name of a small language should be called "non-lingua franca". At present, six languages are "common languages", that is, the working languages of the United Nations, that is, English, Chinese, French, Russian, Spanish and Arabic. All United Nations meetings are interpreted in these languages, and all official documents are printed or published online. However, in the field of college enrollment in China, it is customary to call foreign language majors other than English "small languages", including four of the above six languages.

Beijing Foreign Studies University has the longest history and teaches the most languages among all foreign language universities in China, among which 18 is the only subject in China. The fourth subject evaluation, Beijing Foreign Studies University scored "A+" in foreign languages and literature. At the same time, there is also a postdoctoral mobile station for foreign languages and literature. German in Beijing Foreign Studies University is a national key discipline, while Russian and Arabic are municipal key disciplines. These dominant small languages have doctoral degrees in the school.

Among the top 500 companies in the world, Japan has always ranked second. At the same time, due to the geographical relationship, a large number of Japanese companies have invested and set up factories in China. Unlike European and American companies, Japanese companies use English as their office language regardless of their mother tongue, and Japanese English is not good either. Japanese enterprises have absorbed a large number of Japanese graduates, and Japanese, as the strength of a small language, has been highly concerned and recognized by the market. From the employment point of view, good spoken Japanese can make professionals feel at home in Japanese enterprises, which greatly increases the promotion space. So Japanese is a small language worth considering.
