Connect English ability with a professional skill

Speaking English provides a language-based search criterion but does not define an occupation. Connect your level with tasks such as writing documentation, negotiating, assisting customers or contributing to a technical team; provide a concrete example that helps the recruiter assess your confidence in the professional setting concerned.

Identify the other languages the role actually requires

An advertisement written in English does not mean every activity uses that language. Check customer communication, internal meetings and requirements attached to the role; also ask how the employer supports learning the local language when it matters for carrying out everyday work at the destination.
