JOBS WITH

FRENCH LANGUAGE?

You are working for a french company and you need to enhance your communication skills, handling phone calls, writing letters; text translation, etc. We can cater for your needs.

If businesses are to effectively compete in a global economy, they must learn to deal with other cultures on their own terms. Companies that plan to do business in France or with french counter parts therefore have a dire need to speak french. Employees who speak one language can communicate only with people who speak that same language and its a disadvantage.

Business is not the only area of employment where french language is needed, however, Multiple government agencies, the travel industry, engineering, communications, the field of education, international law, economics, public policy, publishing, advertising, entertainment, scientific research, and a broad array of service sectors all have needs for people with french language skills. There was one french company based in KL, searching for candidates having knowledge in french translation and proof reading. They could not find anyone in the city. They have even contacted the french embassy for help, some recruitment agencies, search on the internet, well.... just to report that they had some trouble before they could finally find someone competent for the job. It took them months. The latest news is, they hired a french lecturer/tutor to give private lesson once a week to ten of their staffs. Why does it have to be so hard? What does that mean to you? There is a serious demand out there for such skill, and if you have it, wouldn't it be nice.

Whatever your career goals, knowing a language certainly won't hurt your employability. Chances are that knowing languages will open up employment opportunities that you would not have had otherwise. And you will be able to command a greater salary in the workplace. All else being equal, knowing french languages gives you an edge over monolingual applicants competing for the same jobs.
