| There
are some recruitment ads that do not tell "English" as the part of its
requirement. However, if we are to work overseas, we have to be able to speak
English. "As a common sense, what level of English we have to be capable
of speaking in order to apply for job?" Well, Mr. Yamada from QUICK USA is
here to give you an answer.
High level of fluency of English is not required as of an entry level
There are different levels of English that are required within different occupation,
but if you are college graduate, I am certain that you are at the required level
of speaking English within a basic business field. This will also applies for
your daily conversations among your friends. However, if you are one of the people
who can not open up the bank accounts or making a contract for a local phone company
by yourself, may be you have to think twice. For those who spent and dedicated
there time in college should not have these types of problems at all.
However, I have to say one thing. A conversation skill that you use among your
friends does not apply for conversation skills that are need for interviews, in
office or with your clients. You have to be cautious about choosing your words.
These people are not friends to begin with and you certain want avoid flaws within
you and the other. Some people thinks they are able to switch channels and knows
when to use the appropriate words. However, habit is a scary thing. You might
say something inappropriate without even noticing. For entry level, it is important
for them to get in the habit of choosing the appropriate words when they are speaking.
What is most required is the high level of fluency in Japanese
For bilingual speakers working overseas in this field, what's expected most
out of them is their competency of speaking Japanese. It is important for a person
to be able to adjust their use of word between your friends and your seniors.
The manner of person's word use becomes very crucial for succeeding. You also
need to have some knowledge of the business field. Furthermore we expect them
to read and write in English efficiently. If our businesses were English oriented,
we would rather hire native speakers. One must understand about why we are hiring
bilingual speakers. Of course being competent in Japanese is important, but using
Japanese as a tool or as a weapon, we want them to use their abilities in full
capacity and with efficiency within the business scene.
In addition: If you see an ad the requires "high competency in English"
When you see and ad that is relative to what's above, "English" in
this sense refers to native level. A level of English that are communicate effectively
and efficiently.
