This study was conducted to understand the employment situation of French majors in Zhongbei College of Nanjing Normal University through a questionnaire survey, aiming to help students of French majors to clarify their employment direction. The results of the survey show that most of them do not have a clear employment direction and goal before graduation, the number of those whose jobs are fully compatible with their majors after graduation is relatively low, and they lack practical experience in their work, and also professional qualification certificates. Based on the research and social needs, French majors should learn about different employment channels, schools should help students set up clear goals and career development plans, teachers should help students improve their language skills, and relevant national authorities should encourage relevant enterprises to increase French internship positions in a targeted way to improve students’ practical ability to use French in the workplace.
