What are Language Skills?
Language skills are essentially the additional knowledge of languages that you have learnt, apart from your native language, or in the lingo your CV is prepared. If you are looking for a job in UK, your CV most likely will be in English and would impress the employers if written in UK English.
Please note that there is no limit to how many languages you can list. And it is not at all necessary that you have to proficient in all of them.
How to List multiple languages on your CV?
Register on Graduatewise.com, which is the most user-friendly marketplace for candidates to connect with the employers. One of the top features of this portal is online CV creation with the help of all the information that you mention in different sections.
You would be allowed to List all the Languages known, along with their Proficiency Level. All you have to do is select the language and level, and it’ll get placed accurately on the online CV. It’s pretty simple.
The Importance of Language Skills?
If you are wondering why the employer should bother which languages you know or don’t know, then it’s time you understand the importance of the same.
1. Communication is Everything:
If you cannot communicate well, then my friend, it’s really tough for you to make your place in this fast-paced world. Recruiters are always on lookout for any additional skills. Communication is a key skill to get selected for any job role. If you can speak and understand well, be it in one language or more, then you can get a quick entry in to your dream company.
2. Career Growth:
Knowing multiple languages is an investment that always gives good returns. There are several job roles that require you to have knowledge of more than one language, based on the location and customer base. Say, you know Japanese, Arabic, Hindi, apart from English, then think the kind of customer base you can manage and then think some more about your increased value in any organisation. It will help you grow your career.
3. Culture Know-How:
Companies benefit hugely if they have employees that can speak with and understand the culture of customers from other countries. It helps them develop the business. When you know a new language, you will be able to connect with the customers better.
4. Remote Availability:
With knowledge of several languages it becomes easier for employers to let you work remotely. You can work around and communicate with the local clientele on behalf of the company thus stabilsing its roots.
5. Network Expansion:
Proficiency or know-how of other languages than your own helps you build and expand your network, meet better people, providing you with more job and growth opportunities, and allow you to showcase your language skills as well.
With such a talent, you become a desired candidate for various job roles, especially when it comes to interacting with consumers. Wherever you apply, understand the job role/requirements thoroughly, and if they list awareness of languages in their requirements, then don’t hesitate to highlight this section on your CV.
You may mention your proficiency level as per your speaking, reading and writing skills. Graduatewise.com lists them separately, so you won’t have to bother about the same. Stay honest about your language skills just like everything else so when you are asked about the same, you can answer confidently.
