A knowledge of one or more foreign languages can be useful in a wide range of careers. For some jobs, such as translating, interpreting and language teaching, language skills are the main requirement. For other jobs a combination of languages and other qualifications, knowledge or skills may be needed. For example, people with languages plus IT, law, finance or sales skills are much sought-after.
Further information about jobs using languages.
I will consider linking to sites that specialise in language-related jobs for free, however there is a charge for links to other job sites. Please contact me for details.
