Small languages (employment prospects)

According to incomplete statistics, there are currently 457 star-rated hotels in Shanghai, including 20 five-star hotels, 27 four-star hotels and 1 18 three-star hotels. As for private hotels and restaurants, they are dotted. Shanghai lacks hotel management talents, foreign language translators and foreign tour guides. In the next five years, the shortage of tourism talents in Shanghai will reach 654.38+10,000. Although the major universities and training units in this city train nearly 654.38+10,000 tourism talents every year, it is obviously difficult to fill the gap in the face of the demand for tourism talents of nearly 30,000 people in Shencheng every year. According to statistics from beijing tourism administration, in July 2005, Beijing received 308,000 overseas tourists, with an average of tens of thousands per day. Among them, the number of European tourists has increased by leaps and bounds, with the largest increase being Spanish tourists, which more than doubled in June. In addition, the number of Italian tourists and Russian tourists has also grown very fast. Due to the sudden increase in the number of overseas tourists in recent years, there is a shortage of 1 10,000 Special Olympics athletes in 65 countries and regions, and 20,000 athletes' families, VIPs and the media participated in the 2007 World Summer Special Olympics. In the reception process, especially in the community reception, it is difficult to find "small language" translation volunteers. It is said that only one Hungarian translator was found in this city. ?

French: Shanghai and its surrounding areas have attracted more than 1000 French enterprises, mainly focusing on consulting, automobile manufacturing, machinery and equipment, retail, training and other fields. According to the survey, only one in every 1000 Shanghainese can speak French. French experts in Yu Kai said that people who can speak French will get more promotion opportunities in French enterprises.

Japanese: Pay attention to improving business coping ability. As the hottest small language at present, industry salary is becoming the employment bottleneck of its students. The starting salary of Japanese companies with no work experience is often lower than that of European and American companies. Nevertheless, Japanese companies in China still have a great demand for talents. According to the relevant personnel of CIIC Shanghai Foreign Enterprise Service Company, the demand for Japanese talents accounts for about 10% of its dispatch business, which is a high share for talents with small languages.

Koreans: In order to "survive", it is imperative that many Korean-funded enterprises mainly serve Koreans. Employees of these Korean-funded enterprises have more opportunities to use Korean in their work, and people who know both Korean and technology are warmly sought after by Korean enterprises. The human resources director of a Korean-funded enterprise said that since the management of the enterprise is mostly Korean, it is hoped that employees can tolerate their mother tongue when communicating, and the corporate culture of Korean-funded enterprises is very close to that of Japanese-funded enterprises, which requires employees to obey absolutely, so it is imperative to learn Korean in order to survive in Korean-funded enterprises.

German: technicians should master it. In recent years, the steady growth of Sino-German trade has brought business opportunities to German-funded enterprises, and the demand for talents has been increasing. For example, well-known German-funded enterprises with manufacturing as their main business, such as Freudenberg, Siemens, BASF and Bayer, have a large number of recruitments every year. Although fluent English can make communication between employees in German enterprises barrier-free, if you want to get a promotion and salary increase or win a good impression in an interview, you still have to speak German, and bilingual ability is more popular in foreign companies. HR, a well-known German automobile company, said frankly: "Technicians often need to read German materials. If you are proficient in German, you can save the link of technical translation for enterprises, thus improving production efficiency. "

Spanish: There are not many Spanish companies investing in China, but Spanish is the official language of 25 countries, including Spain. Almost all South American countries speak Spanish except Brazil. With the increasing trade between China and South America, the shortage of Spanish talents is on the rise. In addition to the obvious advantages in the process of employment, many students majoring in small languages can find jobs with higher "gold content" even if they work part-time. Xiao Li, a junior in Spanish Department of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, recently accompanied a Peruvian businessman to Shantou, Shanghai and Yiwu as a portable translator, earning 70 dollars a day and becoming a "million-yuan household" in just 20 days. The reporter learned that according to the market price, the translation price of "West to China" (West to China) is 200 yuan per thousand words, and the price of "Transfer to West" will be higher. In contrast, the translation of "English-Chinese translation" is only 80 yuan/thousand words, even the lowest in 50 yuan.

Arabic (Detailed Edition) Arabic is a "rising star" that has become popular in recent two years. Graduates majoring in Arabic, such as Peking University and Beijing Foreign Studies University, are often booked out by CCTV, China Radio International, PetroChina and CNOOC before graduation.

Not only is it easy to find a good job after graduation, but when they go to school, students with small languages can at least be regarded as the "middle class" among students economically. Hu, a graduate student in Japanese Department of Southwest University, just started school a few days ago when the teacher introduced him to a job as a substitute in another school. The tuition fee for one class is 30 yuan, with six classes a week. With this part-time job alone, his living expenses will be completely solved.
