With the advent of internet, going global becomes the in thing nowadays. Apparently working and living overseas will make you experience different culture and will widen your horizon. This is just one reason why everybody wants to be work overseas. There are so many jobs available but competition is also stiff. Well one thing that will give you an edge over other applicants is the ability to speak a foreign language other than English. Are you fluent in a foreign language other than English?

I took English as my second language and learning and practising it all the time. A good english language skill is vital here being employeed. If y are excellent on English, you have much more job opportunities than others. But it seems not enough, since more and more people here are good at english now. So last year I took a course of French, and now I'm learning it by myself, it may take me much more time to grasp it.
All the hard work i spent on language learning is just to make me much more valuble and hope the chance to work in some famous corporate and even work abroad.
As you mentioned, the competition is stiff, we should try our best to build our selling point, as well as a foreign language skill.
Also friend, i'd like to encourage and discuss together to the foreigh language.
May you success.
