With the continuous improvement of the country's openness, the increasing frequency of foreign exchange activities, the continuous expansion of foreign projects of various enterprises and institutions, and the continuous development of service trade, the employment prospects of translation masters are broader. Next, Teacher Meng, who is a cross-examination teacher in Weibo, will talk to you about the employment choice of translation graduates.
1. Translation and publishing industry
After graduating from master's degree in translation, the translation and publishing industries are the most suitable. Every year, major translation companies, publishing houses and publishing institutions need a large number of full-time translators engaged in translation work, and graduates who like to do translation can choose this kind of work. This kind of work involves proofreading and translation management besides daily translation. In addition, there are many professional translation companies that need a large number of full-time and part-time conference interpreters and business interpreters, and the interpreters are well paid. Graduate students majoring in interpretation can consider working in such a company and practicing interpretation in such a company during their studies.
2 state organs and large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises
Many candidates may ask, everyone has the opportunity to enter state organs or large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises, why should they be singled out? What I want to emphasize here is that national, provincial and municipal institutions [Weibo] and large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises will have special foreign affairs translation posts when recruiting new employees. This kind of post has high professional requirements and is aimed at students who graduated from translation major. To say the least, even if there are no professional restrictions, the graduates of translation major are more competitive and advantageous than those of other majors. Therefore, graduates with master's degree in translation have unparalleled advantages in applying for such positions. After entering enterprises and institutions, I have a clear understanding of the development trend and latest trends of my unit because I have been doing foreign translation for a long time. At the same time, another advantage of translation is that it can contact the superiors more directly than other posts at the same level, so the career development prospects are broader.
3. Foreign-funded enterprises or Sino-foreign joint ventures
Translation graduates have a unique advantage in entering foreign companies or Sino-foreign joint ventures. Because foreign companies or Sino-foreign joint ventures have high requirements for English and the working language is English, translation graduates can enter foreign companies to do many non-technical jobs such as marketing, public relations, personnel and sales. At the same time, because they often accept western ideas and understand western culture during their study, translation graduates can quickly adapt to the culture of their companies and get along well with on-the-job employees after entering foreign-funded enterprises or Sino-foreign joint ventures. In real life, there are still many professional translators who are directly recruited by these foreign companies or Sino-foreign joint ventures because of their close relationship. Among them, what impressed us most was Jeikiy, the translator of the State Council's former Prime Minister Zhu Rongji. Now he has transformed from a translator to the general manager of Deutsche Bank in China, and completed a magnificent transformation. There are many similar examples, which enlighten us that graduates of translation masters can make full use of their professional advantages, work hard in the future and find opportunities in time, and they will certainly achieve their life goals.
4. Colleges and universities in the field of education or related enterprises and institutions.
At present, the development of education in China is in the ascendant. Foreign language teaching has always been one of the key points. After graduation, you can choose to work in universities or related enterprises and institutions in the field of education. At present, almost all colleges and universities have set up foreign language-related majors, but not many teachers can teach translation courses specifically. Teachers in many schools are all-rounders and take part-time translation courses, such as translation and interpretation. However, under such conditions, it is difficult to guarantee the quality of translation teaching, let alone improve students' translation level. The establishment of Master of Translation can alleviate the shortage of translation teachers to a great extent, and at the same time, it can also transport excellent teachers to colleges and universities. With their excellent professional level and academic background, the vast number of translation master students who are interested in engaging in the education industry after graduation can work in universities or related enterprises and institutions in the field of education.
Master of translation graduates have a wide range of employment and many choices. In addition to the above industries, freelance translation is also an option if the translation master graduates can accumulate rich experience in interpretation and translation and have their own customer base.
