For Spanish, “Press 2″
June 30, 2009
When you call a lot of companies these days; you get the same message: “For Spanish – Press 2”. What does this mean to you if you are bilingual and speak English & Spanish? It means more employment opportunities.
There are many fields for bilingual people these days, such as nursing, (hospitals in general; customer service, billing, ER, and others), retailers need bilingual people, telecommunications companies, insurance companies, banks, human resources departments, call centers; to name a few.
Share your thoughts on being bilingual and the experiences you’ve had in which being bilingual was advantageous. Did you interpret on the scene for someone sick? Did you help someone with directions, or were you able to help someone at the store?

Growing up in America by Mexican culture gave me the ability to be bilingual. The ability to speak two languages has given me advantages in the work force. Every single job I have had since I have worked, I have used Spanish. Even as a Graphic Designer I have used Spanish with certain clients. Being able to speak two languages allows me to communicate with twice as many people.
