I am a freshman, majoring in international hotel management (in the field of tourism). In the first semester, I faced the situation of taking various certificates. How to choose?

Although my major is different from yours, I still want to communicate with you.

Although you don't have to work in this major in the future, it should be easier to do it if the work conforms to your major, just like a person with a translation qualification certificate in a foreign language major doesn't have to work in a foreign language, but it will certainly help if necessary. So I suggest you consult your teachers and seniors, combine their opinions and decide which professional certificates to take according to your own needs.

If you are interested in full-time or part-time or just interested in the future, you can take the exam (friendly reminder, the tour guide card can only travel to national scenic spots for free in the name of the company). Relatively speaking, it will be more difficult to get a foreign language tour guide card, but you can also take a foreign language tour guide card to join a domestic tour group, but the other way around.

In addition, it is more valuable to take all the CET-4 and CET-6 certificates and try to take the oral certificate. If you have time and energy, besides English, it is also a good choice to learn another foreign language.

There are also computer certificates, which are also popular certificates. I don't know if your major requires a computer certificate to work, but personally, advanced office automation is more practical than various levels. I got the second-class certificate, but I think it's useless. Many times, you need to be proficient in operating office systems at work.

In addition, there is a driver's license, which is a skill, and after all, you can have more time when you are a student, but you may not have that much time to learn driving after work. But it also depends on personal needs. If you are not interested or don't think it is necessary, forget it, but I always feel that your major may be needed in the future. ...

In short, it is to combine the needs with your own reality, don't blindly follow, and don't let others take the exam themselves. Forget some certificates that are not practical. It is better to learn something new at the same time than just to look good. With the right choice, you can actually get a lot of certificates in four years of college. Let's go I hope it helps you ~ ~ ~
