A lot of employers have turned to using 'killer questions' or 'shock tactics', such as these:

'Tell me something about yourself that you have never told anyone.' 'Which three famous people would you invite to a dinner party and why?' 'We have employed people from your university, and they have not been good. Can you tell us why you think you'd do better?' Killer questions often come early in the interview and are aimed at throwing the candidate off quard. By surprising the candidate with an original or difficult question, interviewers can get an honest reaction and an unplanned response. They also want to see candidates think through their responses calmly.

Within the public and private sectors, language skills can be used within many different careers and job roles. Apart from the most obvious careers such as translating, interpreting and teaching, the ability to speak another language is a huge benefit when used alongside other key skills.

 

Companies who operate on a global scale always recruit employers who can speak an additional language; the language and level of proficiency will, of course, depend on the role.

ATTRACT EMPLOYERS

Speaking a different language can set you apart from other students and graduates when applying for an internship or graduate job.

Studying and being adept in another language can help you develop a range of skills. These include flexibility, independence, attention to detail and communication. Being culturally aware and having sound knowledge is also attractive for employers as this can help them break into different international markets.

European languages are preferred, namely English, German, French, and Spanish. Mandarin and Arabic are also very common international languages.
