“There are no English-speaking jobs in Europe!" This was what one of my students said. He was genuinely concerned, thinking that not knowing a European language would block him from securing a good job. It’s a common worry, especially when you’re navigating a new continent with diverse cultures and languages. But here's what I told him: Europe is more globalized than ever. English has become the language of business, tech, and international communication. Many European companies, especially those with global clients and partners, operate primarily in English. From tech to finance to marketing, there are countless opportunities where English is the go-to language. The idea that you must be fluent in a local language to get a job in Europe? It's more myth than reality. While knowing another language can be a plus, it's your skills, adaptability, and eagerness to learn that truly matter. So, to all the students with similar concerns—don’t let this myth hold you back. Europe is brimming with opportunities for English speakers, and your dream job might just be waiting for you!

Multilingual Communication in a Global Company Our company recently held a global town hall in Bruges, Belgium, which was live-streamed via Teams. It was a fascinating experience that underscored the diversity of our workforce. The divisional CEO, primarily an English speaker, commented on the common practice of American businesses conducting international affairs solely in English. This sparked a lively discussion, with many colleagues emphasizing the importance of multilingual communication in a global company. Thankfully, the town hall itself embodied this commitment to inclusivity. It was conducted in five languages: English, Dutch, German, Mandarin, and Italian—a truly multilingual exchange that was a pleasure to witness. As a dual citizen of the US and the Netherlands, I had the advantage of understanding most of the languages discussed. While the subject matter and context were naturally repetitive across the languages, this didn't necessarily detract from the experience. Regardless, I was able to follow the spoken aspects as well. In addition to Dutch, my father's native language, I've had other opportunities to develop my language skills. As an exchange student in Germany, I spent a year immersed in the language through school, vocational training, and an internship?– all in German! Furthermore, a six-month work stint in Shanghai, China with a previous employer allowed me to even gain some basics in Mandarin. While Mandarin is a well-known challenge to master, acquiring a some basics goes a long way in breaking down barriers and navigating new environments, regardless of the language—which, in my experience, is half the battle!

Bilingualism isn’t just about speaking another language - it’s about embracing a diverse worldview, building cultural bridges, and fostering empathy.

Is being bilingual really helpful for your career? My daughter here is two, and has already lived in 6 cities on 3 continents. Here she's playing with the beautiful Avila mountains in the backdrop, and we're moving from Caracas to Pampatar today. So she's quite an adaptable little one. Her mum and I tried so hard to teach her Spanish when we lived in Australia, speaking only Spanish at home, only Spanish books, etc. Now she's started to forget her English and those rules have switched around! Sure being bilingual opens up new opportunities (learning new expressions, meeting new people) and it is good for the brain- especially as we get older, learning another language may improve our cognitive abilities. But is it good for your career? Is it worth working on as an adult, which is so much more laborious? It depends. In the USA, just over 1 in 5 people speak a language other than English at home, the frontrunner by far being Spanish. In Australia, its closer to 1 in 4, with Mandarin being the most common alternative to English. You will find a decent number of jobs in each country related to trade that involves a specific need or definite benefit for being a polyglot. They're often related to customer service or sales; roles in which establishing a rapport either B2B or B2C is necessary. But my conclusion- well if you plan to move to or work in another country, it’s probably a necessity. Otherwise, you don’t need to learn a new language for your career unless you're doing it for a very specific role type or niche that you want. Becoming professionally fluent takes many years. But becoming fluent enough to enjoy a language happens in months. If you've got a trip to Tokyo planned, you could get around using English, but taking 6 months of Japanese classes prior to will change your experience entirely. And if you are already fluid with another language, highlight it with pride on your resume- whether or not it is directly relevant to the job, being bilingual shows diligence, intelligence, and adaptability. #investinyourself #bilingual #future Purple Patch Consulting

The very nature of the Country Manager position requires absolute command of several languages. But which languages are most required by companies? The general rule establishes that languages spoken in the key markets where the company operates are given priority. In other words, candidates who speak English, Mandarin, Spanish, German, French, Japanese and Korean have a competitive advantage. In addition to these languages, companies may also consider fluency in other languages, depending on the specific market for which the Country Manager will be responsible. For example, a company operating in Brazil might value fluency in Portuguese, while a company in India might consider fluency in Hindi, a language spoken by 637 million people around the world. Fluency in multiple languages is crucial for Country Managers, enabling them to communicate effectively with employees, customers and local stakeholders. This also allows for a deeper understanding of the culture and nuances of the local market. #CountryManagerHub #globalmarket #internationalcareer #languages
