Thousands of people flock to England each year looking for work and excitement. But with so much competition, having an English language qualification on your CV is vital to bag your dream job! Don’t let yourself down in an interview because of bad English. Take an English course and open the door to new opportunities. Employers are often flooded with hundreds of CVs every time they offer a new job. So what can you do to really stand out from the crowd in such a cutthroat environment?
You probably studied English at school and have the basics down. But working in an English speaking company means more than just small talk. Being able to articulate yourself is the key to happy work whether you want to be a diving instructor in Australia or work at a newspaper in London. Language skills are important, so you should build upon the things you learnt at school and widen your vocabulary. Taking an English course in Brighton or another UK city will help you brush up on your skills and network with other people who are also looking for work. At the end of the course you will not only be able to speak, write and read better but you will also have a formal qualification to enhance your CV.
Watch, listen and learn
Once enrolled upon a course the best way to fast track your way to speaking fluent English is to practise, practise, practise. Use every chance you can to interact with the locals. If you want to work in the Arts go and hang out at a theatre. Volunteering as an usher is a productive and free way to immerse yourself in the language, practising your skills as you work.
Play up your skills
When writing your CV and approaching prospective employers be sure to big yourself up. Don’t be arrogant but do make a note of all the relevant experience you have. The first thing you will need to do is gather together all of your work experience and write an English CV. This is a great way to put your writing skills into practice and if you do it whilst on your course, your English teacher will be able to give you some tips. Once you have a killer CV, get it out there! Don’t be afraid to contact people who you want to work for. With an English qualification as part of your skills you’ll be on the way to finding that dream job!
