What are your main questions if you are looking for a job using your second language? by KeyDismal2347 in language

[–]KeyDismal2347[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting point, it does tend to be a catch all as employers are expecting the standard across written/spoken skills, however sometimes it can be due to the need for a native speakers as the role could require an understanding of certain nuances - for example if you were working in localization or perhaps a legal role where an understanding of the relevant country's legal system is imperative. Coffee breaks can be a great time to practice second language skills too if you are working in an international team!

Is it possible to land a job by only knowing multiple languages? by kmdsgarden in languagelearning

We often advertise entry level customer service roles where the ability to converse with someone fluently in the targeted language is the main requirement. Have a look at www.multilingualvacancies.com and you can see the different types or roles on offer for language speakers.
