The reasons for recommending international trade major are as follows:
Many people have two misunderstandings-
1 It is wrong to think that China's foreign trade is only for export. In fact, China imports a lot every year. With the development of enterprises in China and the continuous improvement of people's consumption power in China, the rapid development prospect of China's import trade is very good.
It is also wrong to think that you can only do foreign trade after graduation. In fact, studying international trade can also do domestic trade. (Not only domestic trade, see below for the specific employment direction)
Of course, the major of international trade also has its own problems, which must be admitted:
In the past two years, the employment rate of international trade graduates has dropped at a high level (students and parents are chasing hot spots and hot majors. As soon as they hear which major is good, they rush to apply, and as soon as they hear which major is bad, they refuse);
European and American economies are facing the risk of recession;
The state vigorously promotes the transformation of domestic economic structure;
There is a surplus of junior talents (such as exporters and customs officers) in the foreign trade industry.
However, the overall benign and healthy development of the industry is highly certain; The market demand for international trade professionals (such as graduate students) is still far greater than the supply.
The employment direction of this major after graduation mainly includes:
Foreign trade industry, large state-owned enterprises (COSCO, COFCO, Minmetals) and foreign service units (such as China Council for the Promotion of International Trade), foreign trade management institutions (customs, commodity inspection bureau, environmental protection bureau-not environmental sanitation bureau. . . . ), foreign-funded enterprises (wholly foreign-owned, Sino-foreign joint ventures and Sino-foreign cooperative enterprises), banks, trusts and insurance institutions (five state-owned commercial banks and three policy banks; There are also three major commercial insurance companies, China Export Credit Insurance Corporation, and various export-oriented national sovereign funds. The demand for domestic trade and processing and manufacturing is also very strong.
One of my sisters graduated from the Graduate School of International Trade of Hebei University of Technology (2 1 1 universities in China, ranking around 90th-100) and went directly to the head office of Hebei Construction Bank. . . . The treatment is called a good one ~ ~ ~
By the way, international trade majors were born with English requirements-10 years ago, when we graduated, we required CET-6; Most students majoring in international trade have a high level of English-considering their degrees in economics and international trade, this is beyond the reach of many English majors.
Economics degree+advanced English is quite good. After all, the two directions have a wider choice in employment and are closely combined.
For example, a friend of mine, majoring in international trade, graduated in the summer of 20 10, passed CET-6, and went to a world-famous foreign company without much effort when he was looking for a job, Selected Graduates and Zhongkou (who were crazy about textual research because they didn't want to take the postgraduate entrance examination). It's not convenient to give your name. The starting salary is 4,500 RMB, which is average. But it's hard. It is not easy to make money as a global buyer. After entering the company, HR told him that he was mainly interested in his good English+international trade major+customs declaration certificate+image sunshine. . . . . . . .
I hope it can be used as your reference.
