Be Bilingual - Recession-proof your career!

The international economic crisis highlights the need for improved skills and qualifications to compete in an uncertain job market. Being bilingual is sure-fire way to recession-proof your career.

Which language?

Thousands of languages from guaranĂ­ in Parguay to Vietnamese in Vietnam tempt the language learner.

For many, the language choice is simple - the lingua franca today is English.

A CV in English opens the doors to many more opportunities. A quick search of "ingles" on CompuTrabajo.com.ar shows just how important English is in Argentina. Job announcements for 456 posts showed up.

At least some level of English is required from jobs in hotels to high tech firms and financial offices. English is in demand because of its importance to international commerce.
