they say that english is the international language. with the onset of globalization, it is important for everyone to know a common language and that they say is english. so...does speaking english land you better job in companies both local and international. what do you think?

i think is very important to know english.. and it does help u a lot.. cause the programs, soft used on computer are made in english language, if u don't work with computers and u r an assistent for a international company.. u need to know english..cause everybody knows to speak it...and u can also aply for outside country jobs.. so it's good to know it.. even better to write it

Yes, I think you're right, now English is the universal working language. If you want to have a good job, or to work with an international company, you must know English very well.
