Learn Chinese and excel in your job search

With a solid degree and a good command of English, you no longer stand out on the job market. The language that has been increasingly in demand in recent years and which will certainly open up the best career opportunities in the future is Mandarin. If you want to stand out when looking for a job, you have to learn Chinese.

As one of Europe's most important trading partners and a host country for many production companies of Western origin, China has steadily gained in importance over the last few decades and will continue to do so in the future without stopping. The rapid economic growth is unique in the world and is currently several times greater and faster than in European countries. It is therefore clear that those who start learning Mandarin at an early stage have excellent career opportunities with international companies with branches, business branches and business relationships in the easternmost part of Asia.

Potential employers for specialists and managers with Chinese language skills

Research and studies have shown that Mandarin can be described as the second global business language. Companies with expansion plans in the East Asian region within the next few years therefore attach great importance to their specialists and managers in the sales force learning Chinese or, ideally, already mastering the language. It is becoming apparent that SMEs with an intercultural focus in particular are dependent on specialists in the Chinese language and culture. They lack the know-how to successfully enter the East Asian business market. Specialists and managers who have studied the Chinese language and culture in depth will soon be appointed as China managers in smaller international companies.

Learning Chinese as a sign of respect

If you are working in another country for professional reasons, it is a sign of respect and deference if you familiarize yourself with the foreign culture and language. This is the only way to really get to know and appreciate another civilization and avoid misunderstandings. These prerequisites are extremely important for a successful and long-term business relationship.
