I majored in English in college, and one of my responsibilities after graduation was to help students choose their majors and match their future careers. I'll talk about what job to do after graduating as an English major.
First, translation. Translation work is divided into the following two categories: 1. Translation, entering a specialized translation company to do translation, but many of the translations are technical materials, which require the later study of relevant technical materials, which is the content that needs to be studied a lot in future work, and there are very few translations of humanities and social sciences trained in universities. 2 Interpreting, interpreting is not the same as translation, many people come out to work independently or cooperate with a translation company after working in the company for a period of time, and the translation company has a job for you to go, which is a freelance profession.
Second, be a teacher in the education industry. In the past, many people went to training institutions to work as K12 teachers after graduation, but now the double reduction has cut a big job opportunity. At present, in addition to working as English teachers in the system or private schools (including K12 and international schools) after graduation, English graduates can also go to training institutions to study abroad as English teachers such as TOEFL, IELTS, and GRE.
Third, foreign-related tour guides. If a foreigner comes to China for tourism, he must need my country's ground service, including tour guides, including communicating with foreigners to arrange their entire itineraryOf course, there are also Chinese people who travel to foreign countries, English as the language of the world, and take everyone to travel as a tour guide.
Fourth, the foreign trade industry. After graduation, he entered the foreign trade industry and used English to do import or export business.
Fifth, do secretarial administration and other work in the company. Many graduates work as secretaries or assistants to the management of foreign-related companies, so that when foreign guests visit or the boss goes on a business trip, they can accompany the boss to do translation and other auxiliary work. Of course, some companies may not have foreign business, and many English graduates will also work as assistant secretaries.
Fifth, the work of the marketing department of foreign-funded enterprises. Foreign-funded enterprises need people with good English because many products or services need to be promoted locally in China, and English graduates will also go to foreign companies to do work in the marketing department to help promote the products and services of foreign-funded enterprises.
Sixth, take the civil service examination. There are many foreign-related departments in the country that need English majors, including *** to various local foreign affairs departments.
Seventh, study abroad, immigration, and other foreign-related industries. My industry is the application for studying abroad, as well as the immigration industry, as well as the foreign real estate industry, etc., all of which require people with good English.
Eighth, the book publishing industry. English editing is also the use of English to do editing work.
Ninth, foreign countries and United Nations organizations in China. These institutions need people who understand English and understand our country, similar to foreign-funded enterprises.
Tenth, you can do any major that does not limit your background. As long as you go to university, many positions are not limited to background and major, and rely on the skills you have learned in college, such as marketing, planning, etc.
Eleventh, graduates of English majors from prestigious universities can also do consulting. The consulting industry includes all walks of life, and in principle, there is no restriction on majors, but it generally requires a prestigious university or a high degree of education. A master's degree from a prestigious university can also enter the consulting industry to do consulting work. Consulting covers all walks of life, and the study abroad industry is also a type of consulting industry.
Twelfth, flight attendant or flight attendant. On international flights, flight attendants with good English are required.
Finally, you can see that as long as there is a need for English in foreign countries, there are opportunities for English graduates to be employedEnglish is a tool, and in the end, it must be learned through the combination of learning and specific industries;Don't forget, it is also related to academic qualifications, and your employment choices and opportunities are very different when your academic qualifications are improved.
As for the many people who say that English majors can't be studied, this is not true. Everyone must pay attention to the restrictions on what people can say. English majors are no longer the era when you could eat dividends if you know a little English, and now any child or college student learns English, and there are higher requirements for English majors, otherwise your job opportunities will even be snatched away by students with good English in other majors.
