WHICH REQUISITS DO FIRMS REQUEST IN THE RECRUITING PROCESS?

80% of job offers display the need for one or two foreign languages when it comes to business negotiation and exports. The most requested languages are English and German. French, Chinese, Arabic or Russian appear afterwards.

     

    65% of Spanish candidates are not able to hold an interview in English. Most Spanish students study this language during their school years and stop learning it in their quest for labour issues ahead.

         Thus, it is highly recommended not to quit the language, to try to maintain the level of Grammar achieved and see to apply it to their speaking skills, which will be, in the long term, the cornerstone to set the difference among candidates during the recruiting process.

A certificate may open doors ahead, but the ability to prove our skills will certainly open the door to the future in the labour world.
