Dreadful Career Mistakes You Must Get Off in 2013
5. Language Barrier:
In the present day economy, language is the most essential attribute for success. And it has become extremely important for every aspiring individual to break the language barriers, to prosper in life.
But unfortunately, presently where most corporate houses have an international presence, most individuals are ignoring the importance of fluency in English communications beyond the academic domain.
While English speaking skills are a must, only a few opt for learning other foreign language. And the big picture is that with international companies investing big in India, knowing foreign languages such as German, French, Chinese and Japanese definitely is a plus to the career of an aspiring individual. If business clients are not comfortable communicating in English, knowing a foreign language will help a professional to switch to their native language and make them feel more comfortable. This illustrates the sensitivity of an individual toward their clients and can be beneficial in the long run. Speaking in a native language will also help a professional to convey and share views in a healthier manner.
In addition, professionals who speak a foreign language also stand a better chance of bagging international projects and making it to the top within short time.
