A recent survey performed by the executive and business support recruiter Crone Corkill confirmed that almost fifty percent of the multilingual jobseekers in the UK market think that knowing several languages only works for translation or interpreter careers.
They asked visitors to their stand at the Language Show Career Fair what role first came to mind when they considered jobs that involved languages, and forty five percent of the people interviewed answered ‘translator’ or ‘interpreter’. Others talked about teaching, tourism, and customer service.
Helen Hook, from Crone Corkill, explained that the Language Show offered a wonderful opportunity for them to meet very talented linguists and to open their eyes to the amazing career opportunities available for someone who speaks several languages.
Hook stated that they met people who spoke many different languages, from French to Latvian to Yoruba. However, she was shocked to see how many of them still mechanically think only of translation when considering jobs related to languages.
She affirmed that whether it is a secretary, receptionist, or team assistant, many companies are always looking, and in great need of, candidates who, besides having the right skills and experience to perform the job efficiently, are also able to communicate clearly and effectively with people from all over the world.
The languages that are hunted for the most are French and German, especially in the banking, finance, energy, and media industries. Nevertheless, there is an increase in the demand for Eastern European and Nordic languages, and for Japanese and Mandarin too, as these markets expand throughout the world.
If you are a multilingual immigrant in the UK, open your mind and expand your horizons. Ask for the help of your UK immigration lawyer or from a recruiting agency to find new job opportunities where you can use the languages you master.
It may very well be that a brilliant future is awaiting you through the communication skills you thought you’d never use.
