Bilingual Job Seekers Benefit From Foreign Language Skills

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) April 25, 2011 -- It’s a tough job market out there. Multiple candidates apply for every position, making it extremely competitive. Plainly, employers are seeking the best candidate they can get for the money they are willing to pay.

While it may come down to experience, education or great interview, getting your foot in the door could also come down to your skills. Specifically, foreign language skills. There are currently over 100,000 job openings nationwide for bilingual candidates listed on BilingualHelpWanted.com, a job search web site that is dedicated just to bilingual openings.

Are you bilingual? Is it on your resume? Many bilingual job seekers overlook putting this valuable skill on their resumes, or omit it, incorrectly thinking there may not be any well paying jobs in their chosen field for someone who is bilingual. The truth is there are thousands of employers actively seeking candidates with foreign language skills in just about every profession.

Most hiring managers scan resumes using key words, similar to a search engine query. If the skills they want do not show up on a candidate’s resume, chances are, that recruiter will never see that candidate’s resume. It should be noted that most companies pay a small salary premium for bilingual candidates, and in many cases where bilingual skills are not required, they are certainly a plus.
