Employment prospects in French

what about schools? Beijing Foreign Studies University, Peking University, Beijing Language School, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, China Media, Institute of International Relations and Capital Normal University. If you have a strong ability, of course, choose the best school, because the level of teachers is not much different, but the brand effect of the school is still very strong, which has a great impact on employment. If the level is above average, then choose a school that suits you and take it as the criterion. I recommend you an article about the prospect of French, which is realistic but accurate. This is an article written by a netizen of Fighting in Africa Forum. I have a deep understanding of the description and appreciate it very much. Now I forward it for lz's reference.

salary, industry and career development-talk about experience in old Africa-think of some inevitable misunderstandings of French graduates in Africa

I graduated from French major in p>6 to Africa

So far I have just traveled to 1 French-speaking countries in Africa

For the younger brothers and sisters who just graduated and want to work in Africa,

call themselves "old Africa" for the time being.

I visit here from time to time

but I rarely post

Basically, I have read all the posts posted by everyone

I find that my understanding of Africa and Chinese-funded enterprises in Africa is limited

Many brothers and sisters have fallen into a misunderstanding when looking for jobs in this field

Now the financial crisis has come

It is even harder to find jobs

Africa has become the only choice for many brothers and sisters studying French < P > Right for reference

Different opinions can be discussed

Thank you

(to be continued)

Here is the biggest and most terrible misunderstanding of French graduates in job hunting

That is-you don't have to be a translator! !

Many people position themselves as translators before they start looking for a job.

So you are doomed.

Basically, there is no future.

Let's take a look at what translation is.

French translation in Africa is a medium to help China people communicate with local people.

To put it bluntly, it is a microphone.

No matter how well you speak French, it is just a microphone. Translation

Translation can't have your own ideas and opinions

To put it bluntly

If the leader sees you unhappy

and kicks you away

Anyway, translation

Just pay

a lot of money

Even if you are lucky enough not to be kicked away

2 or 3 years later

When you are all day?

You can't even afford a house.

Think about it.

You have been studying hard for decades.

Did you get it just to send a message to others?

Sad

Really sad

Speaking of which, you will ask me

What can I do without translation

I will give you many choices with a smile

In Africa, French is your tool

Make good use of this tool

You can become

an account manager, a business manager, a Sales person, an executive, a public relations person

and you can even be promoted to a supervisor and a general manager in the future. Regional President ...

These are not for fun with you.

This is my personal experience and personal experience over the years.

It's a good start.

You will find that after a period of time, the original intention of

coming to Africa to make a fortune and then leaving people will change.

You will gradually form your own career development channel.

I have seen many people coming to Africa to make money over the years.

I went back to China to have fun.

After a while,

I sent me an email saying that it was difficult to find a job in China.

I didn't spend money.

So I found a unit at random.

Another French

had a clear career development plan from the beginning.

They didn't aim at making quick money.

Instead, P > I have seen several of them become directors of their own companies

Two or three of them have also become general managers of local companies or even presidents of regions

Survival and money are no longer a problem for them

Excellent French and English

enable them to take off quickly in the workplace

So I often tell people that

Africa is the best platform for young people to take off quickly in the workplace. A bientot)

Let's talk about the second misunderstanding here

That is what many graduates are very concerned about-the signing of labor contracts in Africa

To put it bluntly

This is really a boring problem

Generally large companies

such as Huawei, ZTE, Mindray, PetroChina,

People such as China Construction Company recruit thousands or even tens of thousands of people a year (the current economic crisis may be slightly reduced)

Contracts for graduates are templates printed by their respective legal departments long ago

You don't have to talk about it at all

Sign or not

When people are recruiting by HR

If you talk about five insurances and one gold from beginning to end, people may

. Maybe I don't care about you at all

but when you open your mouth, people will think you are tender

In short,

Large companies have established standards for the treatment of graduates

You have no room for negotiation at all

But you don't have to worry

Large companies won't cheat you on this issue of several risks and one gold

People have special labor and social security departments

All laws and regulations. There's no need to worry about

but for those relatively small companies

such as mining, fishing and construction

you can talk about it

but it's useless to talk about it no matter how good you are

When you get to Africa, it's like getting on a thief boat

People will withhold your passport and not reimburse your plane ticket. Arrears your salary

You can do whatever you want

You have no temper at all

So

You don't need to care too much about this labor contract that French graduates like to entangle

It's no use talking about big companies

It's no use talking about small companies

(I have to write down, Don't panic, comrades)

Thank you for your support

It gives me the motivation to continue talking with you

Today, I will talk about the third misunderstanding

-the confusion between the macro environment and the micro environment

It may be difficult for people who have never really worked in Africa to understand the meaning of this sentence

But graduates are basically confused about the relationship between the macro environment and the micro environment

Once confused, Miss the opportunity of development

Let me nag a few words

Hehe

The African environment generally understood by China people is what I call the big environment here

Before I assigned it, I just thought about going to Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco, which are relatively developed North African countries

because these countries have good big environment

relatively developed economies and relatively rich materials.

There are no diseases, wars and the like

I believe many brothers and sisters majoring in French regard these countries as their first choice before going abroad

Some people even don't go to these countries

For Congo, Cameroon, Benin, Many people in Senegal, a country in Central and West Africa

think that these places are like a nose hell

Hehe

It's understandable for people who have never been to Africa

But before coming to Africa, most people always take the big environment as the standard

For example, now two companies want you to

send you to Tunisia

. Choosing the former without thinking

This arbitrary choice is actually very terrible

because they ignore one of the most important factors

that is, the small environment

(take a break first, (to be continued)

The so-called microenvironment

means that the living and working environment after you arrive in Africa

is not necessarily related to the general environment that everyone understands

Let me tell you a few real examples, and everyone will understand

I spent some time in the most difficult place in Central Africa

The general environment in that country is really a mess

There is not even a decent supermarket in the whole country < Moreover, there have been years of civil war.

The government is extremely corrupt (the most corrupt government I have ever seen in Africa).

And the climate is dry.

The temperature is kept at 4-5 degrees all the year round.

In such a country, it is estimated that everyone will be scared to hear it.

Let alone go to work.

But to tell you the truth,

We actually enjoyed our stay there. I rented a brand-new villa

with garden and swimming pool

with a single room (with a big bed, desk, bathroom, air conditioner, water heater, Wardrobe, etc.)

The whole villa is completely covered with wireless network

I often shut myself in my room when I have nothing to do

The air conditioner is turned on the most fiercely

Making a cup of tea

Calling my family and friends in China for a dozen times is an afternoon

People simply don't feel that I am in Africa

The vehicles in my office are all Toyota overbearing off-road vehicles

Four or five local drivers work in three shifts < > whenever you are greedy

invite your last customer to the most authentic local French restaurant for a rub

Anyway, it's the business entertainment company that reimburses you

It doesn't hurt to spend hundreds of dollars

So during that time

I basically ate all the high-end restaurants in that country's capital

Someone will ask

Didn't you say which country had a bad environment?

How can there be high-end restaurants?

This needs to be explained.

Even the worst countries have rich people.

Even the richest countries have slums.

Domestic reports have demonized Africa to a great extent.

What chiefs, tribes, and blood-eating animals have long been history.

I have traveled to so many so-called poorest countries < Beach bars, nightclubs and the like

Of course, I'm talking about the cities below the capital

Another example

Hehe

I have a colleague who

worked in Africa for several years and then transferred to the French office

worked in Paris

Think about it

For a French graduate. France is a developed country

and there is no hardship allowance

. Therefore, after this brother came to France from Africa,

his income was cut by half directly

Of course, this is nothing

After all, when he came to Europe,

if his income is less, let's just take it as a trip

However, things are not as simple as everyone thinks

The company said

Gone are the days when drivers and luxury cars were on standby

I had to commute to work by subway every day

The company also said

The rent in Europe is quite expensive

Let's live in apartments

Swimming pools and gardens are useless

Just forget it

So this brother moved from a luxury villa to an ordinary apartment

Don't panic. It's not over yet.

The company also said that

there are many European restaurants.

You won't be given a chef.

You can cook by yourself or eat out.

You won't die of hunger.

Of course, The company will give you some subsidies.

So it's the end of this depressed brother's life.

So far, everyone has basically understood

Which is more important, the big environment or the small environment?

No matter how good the big environment is, the small environment provided by the company won't work.

You have to be depressed to death.

If the small environment is good,

Take care of it. Poverty

It's none of your business if you shut your door

After all,

95% of your time in Africa will be spent in offices, rooms and cars

As long as the company can provide you with comfortable rooms, good office environment and transportation vehicles

What do you care about the big environment

Don't you think

? It's also the least recommended company

(I won't go to such a company even if I'm killed)

That's the company that definitely gives you a position as a "French translator"

As I said earlier,

Translation is bound to be an affiliated position

Look, translators always move a small bench to sit next to the leader's sofa during the meeting

How depressed do you want to be < Have a crush on the same girl

Why are you destined to be somebody else's younger brother and sidekick just because your major is different

You abandon more than that!

Of course,

Some comrades who love translation work

devote themselves to translation all their lives should stop reading

Compare professions and become the best

After you have really worked in translation for 2 or 3 years,

I'm sure you will finally be able to make it

I'm not denying the possibility of success in translation

It's just that the road to success is rather difficult

Hehe < > I'm here to list some of these companies

such as XX Construction Engineering, XX Fishing and XX Drilling

To be honest

They are all large state-owned enterprises

And the microenvironment of these units is really good

All of them eat and use containers regularly from China

A friend described it to me as

"Maotai drinks water, "China is burning paper"

The rented vehicles are all Mercedes-Benz and Hummer.

That little life is really nourishing.

But it has nothing to do with you again.

Because people have pointed out that you are a French translator.

If you go in, you are the minion or younger brother of the big-bellied leader of state-owned enterprises.

As far as I know, the scope of work of French translators in these companies is as follows: < Vehicle

Don't be too proud

You think it's awesome that you are in charge of so many black people. B

Actually, to put it bluntly

These miscellaneous things are the work of a small secretary in China.

The only difference between you and a small secretary in China is that you may earn a little more than her.

It may be cool for you to do what you are doing now.

Every day, a bunch of black people surround you and shout ". When people introduce you,

they all say, "Well, it's the translator of our company, Xiao Wang"

Then people will look at you contemptuously

and then ignore you at all
