Develop international experiences and learn another language. Study abroad. Or be born in another country where you likely learn 2 or 3 languages, and then emigrate to a strong economy nation and take advantage of opportunities where global skills are valued.
International experiences
“Optionality is a huge advantage. It literally opens new worlds for you. There are more jobs available to you, for example, if you speak Spanish. You can collaborate with people in different countries. This is especially attractive for the younger generation now—the lure of traveling around the world,” Whately explains. “Gaining those kinds of international experiences is enormous for your resume.”
Competitive advantage
The ability to speak more than native English places you at a competitive advantage in the rush for talent, especially as employers seek to expand their operations globally, or even broaden their reach into multilingual domestic markets. This naturally boosts your career prospects and your earning potential, as employers are willing to pay a premium where there is great demand but comparatively little supply.
