Example 5 – A bilingual company representative – Having a sales territory overseas – for a global organization
Can you imagine a sales person traveling to Japan, to sell pharmaceutical products, or working for an automobile parts company and not being able to speak Japanese? Now, picture the same example, but this time with the sales person being bilingual and speaking English and Japanese. This would be a more comfortable situation all around. If the employee is bilingual, he or she can communicate the benefits of the product, can interact with the local people, and can create better relationships with Japanese customers for the company overseas, including when they are visiting their customers in Japan. And while they are in the United States, they can communicate with company management, with their co-workers and can have the best of both worlds; in Japan and in the US. The sales for the company can increase and everyone involved can feel more comfortable dealing with each other…because they understand each other.
This brings me up to the last post on the “advantages of hiring bilingual company representatives” – and this is my conclusion: When companies hire bilingual sales people and or bilingual company representatives, we have winners all around. The company selling their products and services can see an increase in their sales, based on the good communication between the sales person and the customers. On the other hand, the client is also a winner, because they can communicate better with the company selling them the product or service. Having a bilingual sales person is a win-win situation for everyone. Companies should not go without bilingual personnel. We are important and can make a HUGE difference for corporations all over the world.

Example 4 - A bilingual company representative in the Healthcare Industry
Let’s take as an example folks in the healthcare industry; such a nurse, a dietitian or even a physician. If they are bilingual, they can communicate better with patients, and can provide better care for the patients. A dietitian can explain the diet to the patient. A sick patient can explain his or her symptoms better to the doctor or the nurse, and there can be better communication among all parties. Folks can take better care of each other. By experience, I can tell you that one of the hardest things when you are learning a new language is to get sick and not be able to communicate your symptoms to the nurse or to the doctor. If you are speaking to someone who can understand you totally, your chances to get better care can improve greatly. This is an industry that needs bilingual professionals and has a long way to go. We can all get better health care if we can understand each other better.

Example 3 – A phone company hiring a bilingual (English & Spanish) sales representative for the Hispanic market
If the company has a bilingual sales representative who can speak English and Spanish to the Hispanic market, that bilingual employee can communicate the calling plans, the minutes per month, the calling features, and all of the advantages of the specific carrier to their customers; in their native language. Since the Latino community out-spends the general market in minutes used per month, the company can be the chosen carrier for the Latino community in that area, and can consequently increase their sales and bottom line. The telecommunications company will also create more loyalty in the specific market, by communicating better with clients, and by the consumers appreciating the efforts of the telecommunications company in their specific market. And there’s nothing like loyalty in the business world!

Q: I have a Master’s degree in business administration and I’m seeking a bilingual job. What advice can you offer to help me find the right company who would have competitive salaries to match my level of education? Vito
A: For those prospective bilingual candidates with a higher degree, I would first recommend a staffing firm advisor, your college/university career advisor or a head hunter who all have great resources and can help guide you in the right direction. Secondly, you should keep searching on your own for companies that have bilingual positions available in your field until you find the right one that matches your qualifications. After you’ve found the right company for you, your time, experience, skills and dedication will help you achieve the level of pay you desire.

Q: I have been in my current position for the past 13 years and would like to consider changing careers. How easy or difficult is it for bilingual people to find jobs? Clara
A: Certainly bilingual skills are an asset in today’s job market. Be sure to highlight these skills in your resume. Other factors that influence the success of your job search include your field, education, experience and personal attributes, which should also be emphasized when writing your resume. While employers do rely on your background and past experiences, personality can also be a deciding factor, such as how comfortable you appear while presenting yourself. Since you have been in your current job for 13 years, this will show any employer that you have long term potential. Good luck with your new endeavor!
