The Importance of Spanish in the Workplace

We’ve all heard employers say that they favor prospective employees who speak at least one second language.  In many countries like in the U.S, a fluent knowledge of Spanish is in especially high demand, executive recruiters and hiring personnel say North Americans who speak Spanish can do far more than chat up Latino assistants. Bilingual skills help job seekers land work. They can lead to key assignments and pay raises. In some cases, they may even be a job requirement.

Many study notes say that an employee who can navigate a foreign environment with ease will probably be both happier and more productive than one who cannot. From a business standpoint, speaking another person's native language helps win trust.

Customer service operations are also hiring bilingual workers. From clerks at the Department of Motor Vehicles to call center representatives to supervisors in the hospitality industry, the growth of Spanish speakers as both customers and workers means more demand for bilingual customer services. Executives are most frequently needed in marketing, sales and general management and to serve as president or CEO.

Spanish-speaking ability is also important in the US because Spanish is spoken not just California and Texas anymore, Throughout the Southeast, more and more people are speaking Spanish. Miami is one of the most bilingual cities in the country. If you want to have some tropical live experience, Spanish will be really helpful to find a good career opportunity.
