Why are languages important in your work?
Our working environment in the office is completely bilingual (probably 70% of all our clients are English speaking) and all day-to-day contact is in Spanish, plus all our marketing material is produced in two or more languages, so languages are a vital part of my work
What do you enjoy most about your job?
The variety - never knowing what I will be doing next week and having to react quickly to both client and company needs.
Any tips?
Learn a second or even a third foreign language. It will make you a much more ‘attractive’ proposal to any employer.
