What are the employment prospects of Japanese majors?

China began to implement the undergraduate enrollment expansion policy from 65438 to 0999, and the graduates in 2003 were the first graduates after enrollment expansion. It is a common problem to find a job now, but the employment of Japanese undergraduate graduates is slightly better, and the graduate market is bigger and there are more opportunities. The Japanese College of Dalian International Studies University has more than 400 undergraduate graduates this year, more than twice as many as in previous years, but the absolute number of employers coming to the school is still higher than in previous years. There are about 150 people who have signed up now, and their monthly salary is slightly better than that of other professional graduates, with an average of about 2000 yuan. In addition, about half of the students who take the postgraduate entrance examination have a destination, and all of them have employment intentions except those who go abroad after graduation. Optimistic estimates, more than 90% of the students have landed.

Japanese talents, where is the employment?

According to statistics, the employment ratio of Japanese talents in various industries is: Japanese-funded enterprises account for 50%-60%; State organs (including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, governments at all levels, customs, foreign trade offices and trade promotion associations, etc.). ) accounts for about 20%; University teachers and Japanese tour guides each account for about 10%.

1. It's easy to enter Japanese enterprises:

Japanese-funded enterprises are located in southeast coastal cities, such as Dalian, Yantai, Qingdao, Suzhou and Wuxi. There is great development potential in China in the future. Many students regard entering a Japanese company as the beginning of their career.

However, Japanese companies work differently from China, Europe and America. The boss of a Japanese company is practical, and it is common to work overtime until eleven or twelve. It also requires employees to be equally diligent and dedicated, and must not haggle over every ounce; Japanese companies like to set the goals and progress of their work carefully and clearly, and then complete it step by step meticulously, and don't like anyone to be unconventional; You must report everything to your boss before you take action.

Therefore, if you want to be a member of a Japanese-funded enterprise with standardized management, you should pay attention to these characteristics in the interview.

First, punctuality.

Teacher Yu Lihong thinks: "The secret of successful interview lies in understanding the punctuality and seriousness of Japanese people." If the interview time is set at 1: 30 in the afternoon, then according to the Japanese thinking habit, he will be there around 1: 25, and you must be there three to five minutes in advance for the interview. In the eyes of the Japanese, punctuality is an essential quality for a person. If the interview has already started and you arrive in a hurry, you will be fired without producing your resume.

Second, pay attention to details.

Dress neatly and don't be unkempt; Dress appropriately. When interviewing or competing for different positions in different enterprises, wear different styles of clothes, preferably professional clothes. Look directly at the interviewer during the interview, don't look around, or the Japanese will think that you are not listening to him, which is very disrespectful to him. During the interview, you should "stand like a clock and sit like a pine", put your hands in front of you and fully show your positive mental state. Finally, whether the interview is successful or not, you should thank the interviewer (どぅもぁりがとぅござぃました) and say goodbye (.

Third, know what you want to do.

In China, the general interview process is that you hand in your resume and wait for the employer to arrange a job for you, or according to the needs of the employer, you feel qualified before going to the interview. But the interview of Japanese-funded enterprises is not like this. Before attending an interview, you need to know clearly your strengths and weaknesses, and then "tell the interviewer frankly". For example, you are an introverted person who is not good at communicating with others, but you have strong logical thinking ability and computer operation ability. You need to tell the interviewer all this during the interview. But don't worry, you won't lose the opportunity to work in a Japanese company. Instead, you will find a job that suits you better, such as: text translator, chief financial officer, person in charge of computer center, etc. These jobs will be more suitable for you than public relations manager or personnel manager. Ping Cui, a teacher who worked in a Japanese company for two years and then studied in Japan for four years, said: "The idea of Japanese bosses is that jobs should vary from person to person. They hope to fully tap the potential of each employee and let them create greater profits for the company in positions that suit them. "

If you have successfully passed the interview, congratulations! But we should not take the next test lightly. Generally, Japanese-funded enterprises will not "raise" a full-time translator, especially small and medium-sized enterprises. They need more "generalists", and your job is mostly translation and secretary, or the head of a department, and so on. Therefore, after entering Japanese-funded enterprises, we should exercise ourselves from multiple angles and pay attention to cultivating practical ability and innovation ability. These are the two abilities that Japanese bosses value most, and they are also your chips to gain a foothold in Japanese companies.

2. Japanese+is very bright:

The rapid development of IT industry in Japan is obvious to all, so the compound talents of "Japanese+computer" will be very popular. In recent years, General Motors (GE) and the Asian branch of Dell Group in the United States have brought their original business in Japan to Chinese mainland, and there is a great demand for talents who know both Japanese and computers.

There is a boy in the class of 96 of Dalian International Studies University. He has taught himself computer-related courses since his junior year. By the time he graduated, his computer level was quite high. Because of the strong ability of listening, speaking, reading, writing and translating Japanese, computers, as an auxiliary tool, were quickly attracted by a high-tech enterprise in Beijing. Although I haven't worked long after graduation, I have been recognized by people in the industry by virtue of my own strength.

If you are as interested in computers as that male classmate, you can take some computer certification exams from Microsoft and then focus on the IT industry. Similarly, if you are interested in law, you can take the national judicial examination and then compete for positions such as translator and legal adviser; If you are interested in accounting, you can take the ACCA (British Certified Accountant) and other accounting exams, and then obtain the qualifications of translation and financial director. In short, while learning Japanese well, cultivating your interest and striving for certain accomplishments will make your employment prospects brighter.

3. Other destinations are also great:

In the past few years, the demand for Japanese talents has mainly come from Dalian and other northeastern regions that have extensive exchanges with Japan. However, in recent years, some wholly-owned enterprises, joint ventures, trading companies and travel agencies in some southern cities such as Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Shanghai (although Shanghai is difficult to enter) have great demand for Japanese talents. Yantai, Weihai, Qingdao and other northern coastal cities also have a great demand for Japanese talents. In addition, the national ministries and commissions, provincial and municipal government agencies have a growing demand for Japanese talents. For example, in mid-March this year, the Yantai Municipal Government came to Dalian Foreign Studies University to recruit 20 undergraduate graduates, who will be employed as Japanese translators and economic and trade negotiators for Yantai district-level government agencies and street communities. Although it is not as well treated as Japanese-funded enterprises, it reflects that the country is paying more and more attention to Japanese talents.

Postgraduates have a clear employment sky, a higher level of work and better treatment. Most of them will engage in specialized academic research, or be full-time Japanese teachers in universities, and they will all contribute to the cultural exchange between China and Japan!

Japanese talents are optimistic from east to west.

The employment of foreign language graduates is often affected by the development situation of the target country. At present, with the acceleration of national development, more and more regions have economic and cultural exchanges with Japan. Although the target of Japanese talents is mainly coastal open cities, especially those cities with relatively high openness and rapid development, with the promotion of the western development policy, they will also expand to the mainland and the west in the future. I believe that smart Japanese will not give up the vast western market, and there are national preferential policies as auxiliary conditions.

Teacher Su, who has brought graduates for many years, is also optimistic about the development of Japanese major. He said: "China is becoming more and more open. Japan is the second largest economic power in the world. It is an inevitable trend to strengthen Sino-Japanese exchanges from the perspective of economy, trade and culture. As a bridge and link of communication, Japanese will surely make the development prospects of Japanese talents brighter. "

According to statistics, in the first quarter of 2006, the top ten majors in the talent market in each province were marketing, management, design, computer, machinery, finance, medicine, architecture, foreign languages and electricity. The top ten occupations of job seekers are computer, management, finance, machinery, foreign languages, medicine, architecture, culture, education, art and law.

From the perspective of talent supply, Japanese professionals are obviously in short supply. Enterprises that need Japanese talents can be roughly divided into four categories from the industry: first, industrial system companies; Second, international trading companies; Third, information technology companies; Fourth, modern service-oriented enterprises. Generally, Japanese-funded enterprises require Japanese talents. Generally speaking, the Japanese proficiency test is at least Level 2. According to the statistics of the exchange meeting, nine English major job seekers compete for 1 job opportunity, and nine enterprises compete for 1 Japanese major job seeker, which shows the lack of Japanese talents.
