Hello student,
Thanks for posting your query on meracareerguide. Your interest in making a career in foreign language is appreciable.

With India becoming a major player in the global market and a lot of multinational companies coming to India, professionals who can overcome the language barrier are seen as an asset in any company. Now-a-days foreign language experts are seed to be in translation related services in different settings. For instance you can work in varied sectors like tourism, embassies and diplomatic services, international organisations, etc. You can also work as a trainer if you are certified for it or have the right qualifications.

In addition, newer areas like content writing (which ca be pursued online as well from a office based setting), technical translation or decoding etc. are also coming up in a major way.



An ideal qualification for any of these jobs would be a graduation in the respective language. However, even diplomas are seen to be sufficient in some.

Hope this clarifies your doubt.

Regards and good luck!
Nandini

Hello


Thank you for choosing Mera career guide and writing to us. I understand you are asking about career prospects for Japanese language in India. Apart from the counselling already given by Dr Nandini Narayanan here, I would like to put in some extra notes on career prospects for foreign languages, especially Japanese in India.

I would like to give you the briefing on Career prospects of Japanese language step by step. Lets start from school level.

1. International school teaching: If you have learned Japanese language and have completed minimum 4 levels, you can apply for a teaching position in India at school levels. Level 4 Japanese language will mean that you have achieved the required proficiency to read, understand, speak and write in Japanese language. The proficiency is equivalent to saying, you are fluent and an expert level in this language and not at beginner or intermediate level. Completing level 4 will help you to qualify as a Japanese language teacher. International schools have international students who come all over the world. They facilitate such students in bringing foreign language teachers and in this respect such foreign language teachers are in high demand. According to your teaching experience, you can teach students at various grade level at school.

2. HR Recruitment: India is relatively new with this growing demand. It is expected that if a HR professional has certain foreign language skills, they can be assigned to handle expatriates. Expatriates are the persons who come in to India from foreign countries to work on their home country company's branch located in India. They spend a minimum of six months to several years until they complete the assigned project in India. Indian HR professionals who speak Japanese language can interview these Japanese experts in both English and Japanese to understand their ability in the role involved.

3. Corporate facility management: Similarly, the corporate facility management department coordinates with expatriates who come into India companies from their foreign branch to help them with housing, airport pick up, drop, family support and many.

4. Embassy: Learning foreign language can give you job prospects in embassy in India and abroad.

5. Voice over artist: This voice role is recently recognised in India. You can give voice for Japanese artists performing in a play or recorded in tape or DVD's.

6. Interpretor and translator: You can get work opportunities in content writing in Japanese language. Apart from that you can also do translation services for books written in Japanese languages.

Hope this helps.
Many thanks.
