What are the suitable part-time jobs for English majors?
I have introduced many part-time jobs suitable for college students before, all of which are universal and students of all majors can participate, so some students who study languages will say that it is good to introduce some part-time jobs related to professional content ~ ~ So let's talk about part-time jobs for English majors today. There are many part-time jobs suitable for English: translation (translation, interpretation), English tutor, local tour guide (of course, this requires a tour guide card), teaching Chinese as a foreign language (well, it will be a bit difficult to talk about this in detail below). As for translation, this part-time job should be the most common part-time job for English majors. Translation is usually material translation, such as some translation centers, or some companies that buy imported machinery ... such translators should not only have basic translation qualities, but also have a wide range of professional vocabulary. Take my personal experience as an example, I am studying in a foreign trade company (run by relatives)&; At work, my relatives asked me to help translate a stack of instructions for machinery imported from Germany (who knows what it is ~ probably related to textiles, etc ...), and then many words in that machine part appeared in the instructions, some of which have different meanings in a specific context (such as foreign trade words and legal words? ), well, it was a little difficult to translate at that time. Every time I see words like bearing, my heart always collapses! ! ! So be fully prepared before work. As for the interpretation, I personally think it is more difficult. . . Because I never was. . . I don't have enough qualifications ~ I have to practice oral English every day, unless I stay abroad for a long time, which is really difficult ~ I thought that when I took the BEC advanced exam, I specially found an oral English partner to practice online (I majored in computer, otherwise I would grab one directly from school) and persisted for a month. I felt a little confident and walked into the examination room. Seeing that domestic examiners are still nervous, I feel that some things have been prepared for nothing. The same is true at work. Some commentators will also focus on some products and instruments. At this time, you must be fully prepared. You don't panic when you see foreigners say hello, but you are easy to forget and stammer when you introduce them.

In addition, many part-time translators and interpreters need translation/interpretation certificates. The price is a bit high, such as 600/ day for interpretation. English tutoring is more common, so I won't go into details here. Anyway, the way and price of finding a part-time job have been mentioned before. The English requirements of local tour guides are also quite high, of course, their income is also high, and they need a tour guide card ~ It may be unrealistic for students to take a group part-time job, so they can only be private tour guides ~ This is actually quite difficult. Generally, there should be formal institutions to provide private tour guide services for foreigners. Of course, you can find flexible children's shoes on the website, and all roads lead to Rome. The difficulties are: first, foreigners are also digging! They are not so willing to spend money to invite a student party with less experience to explain, and they will think it is better to read the introduction on the explanation board. . . Some foreigners have amazing brain holes, and you will really be surprised at their associative ability (actually quite cute ~). Then usually when he asks questions, we don't know how to explain them, because we don't have enough vocabulary and knowledge. When I was in Hangzhou, I often saw all kinds of China students (all of them should be students) accompanying foreigners to visit and explain. They look very young. . ) I admire their ability. If you want to develop children's shoes in this field, you can search all kinds of resources online. After all, Du Niang is omnipotent. There is also a part-time English teacher who works as a teaching assistant in a training institution. He doesn't have high requirements for English and doesn't know it at all. . . You can have a simple conversation with foreign teachers. Of course, the income is average.
