Five Emerging Industries for Bilingual Careers: Banking & Finance
This week’s focus is on emerging industries for bilingual jobs in the U.S. and the types of jobs bilingual candidates can find within those fields. (See yesterday’s post for the first industry on our list.) The second of the top five emerging industries for bilingual jobs:
Banking and Financial Services
This industry offers career opportunities for the following bilingual professionals: bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, realtors, insurance agents and automobile dealers. These professionals represent and discuss very personal matters with their clients, who want to make sure that they are well understood. With the ability to communicate effectively in more than one language, the bilingual professional can expand their clientele, and can reach out to people of other cultures. (For more thoughts on the advantages of being bilingual, read this post.)
Additional jobs available in professional offices include customer service representatives, administrative assistants, billing/accounting representatives, claims representatives, tellers and loan personnel. The banking industry in particular is eager to provide services to all populations, including the Hispanic community — the largest minority group in the United States. They also want to service the more than 3 million Hispanic-owned businesses in the U.S., and are therefore a key employer for those seeking Spanish-speaking jobs.
We have three more emerging industries for bilingual jobs coming. Stay tuned….
