Therefore, our first priority in college is to graduate smoothly and obtain graduation certificates and degree certificates smoothly.

The current CET-4 or CET-6 certificate is not only a testimony of personal English proficiency, but also a primary threshold set by many companies when recruiting. Not only that, many schools even incorporate CET-4 and CET-6 certificates into their daily credit system, which is closely related to the graduation of students.
Of course, in addition to CET-4 and CET-6, there are also professional CET-8 certificates in college English (only English majors can apply), IELTS, TOEFL, etc. You can apply for it according to your own situation, and you may apply for it during your job search. Enhance your resume.

Not to mention computer majors, they must pursue high-level passing.
Mandarin Certificate
The Mandarin proficiency test is mainly a speaking test that tests an individual’s standardization and proficiency in using Mandarin.
The exam is relatively simple overall. Through a series of oral test questions, the candidate's Mandarin level is judged. It is worth mentioning that when a teacher is certified, he or she needs to provide personal Mandarin test scores. .

Scholarship certificates are very important and will make a good first impression on HR (human resources director). In particular, national-level scholarship certificates have certain advantages in ensuring postgraduate study and evaluating excellence in schools.
Scholarship certificates are used by many companies as a necessary condition for screening resumes. Even without a scholarship certificate, there will be no interview opportunities.

This type of certificate can not only add credits according to relevant school regulations, but some also provide certain bonuses. (Examples: China International “Internet +” Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, China College Student Advertising Art Competition)
Professional Qualification Certificate
This is closely related to your major and the industry you want to work in in the future Big, students can treat it according to their actual situation. If the employment goals are clear, qualification certificates can make it easier for students to enter the industry. (For example, lawyer qualification certificate: students who want to be lawyers; CAD engineer certification: machinery, interior decoration, construction industry; tour guide qualification certificate: national regulations require tour guides to work with certificates;)
Paper publication, Patent certificate
For students who want to further their studies, having published high-quality papers in professional journals, especially core journals, is a major advantage when competing for postgraduate opportunities. It will also be easier to gain the favor of a mentor.

Furthermore, many companies will directly retain their interns, and the retention rate is very high, even more than 50%. After all, you and the company already know each other.
