Managers organize work in a company, a firm, and manage the production activities of an organization. The main function of managers is management, which includes the process of planning, organizing, motivating and controlling.

If an organization is focused on working with foreign partners, conducts a foreign business or is a representative office of an international company, knowledge of foreign languages ​​will be mandatory for most of its employees. Confident knowledge of the language is important for account managers (in international companies), employees of international relations departments. They organize connections with business partners, a system for collecting the necessary information for expanding external relations and exchange of experience.

The most popular language in business is English. However, the situation is subject to change. Belarus is constantly expanding the framework of business, cultural and social cooperation with many foreign countries. There are many companies operating in our country with ties to Germany, Poland, Italy, China, Turkey, etc.

Engineers of various specializations

Today engineering professions are the most widespread professions of highly skilled labor. In our country, more than a third of specialists with higher education are engineers. Our specialists are in demand both at domestic industrial enterprises and in foreign companies. It is engineers who manage production sites in industrial enterprises, transport, construction and other industries, work in design bureaus and research institutions, and deal with issues of organizing production, planning and economics. There are many engineering specialties and many of them require knowledge of the English language, and even at the stage of study at the university (you need to read technical literature, understand the meaning of terms, etc.).

A specialized technical education is not enough to get a good job. Attend English courses, improve your qualifications. Those who work for branches of foreign companies have the highest salaries, so here, too, knowledge of English will be a decisive advantage.

Marketers

In our country, a marketer is a broad-based specialist. He analyzes the market situation, develops new products, studies the target audience, conducts surveys, manages an advertising campaign, does PR, etc. Often, a marketer is charged with the functions of another three or four related professions, so English will not be superfluous.

To achieve success in this profession, it is necessary to study the experience of the best foreign brands and marketers, communicate in professional forums, attend conferences and trainings of leading foreign experts.

Economists, financiers

Depending on the specialization, the economist may be assigned different responsibilities, although the main task of any specialist in this industry is to collect data on the activities of the company, analyze them, as well as plan and forecast further steps. Specialists from this field are quite in demand, but it is sometimes difficult for an employer to choose a specific candidate. And then the comparison of the advantages of the candidates comes into play. Needless to say, knowledge of English can be decisive in your career. English will allow you to be in an advantageous position over competitors for whom learning this language has remained an insurmountable obstacle.

For an economist, English is a gateway to the most modern areas of applied economics. Many experts say that it is impossible to be an economist without knowing English, since most of the concepts and concepts of economics have developed in English-speaking countries. In addition, the share of banks with foreign capital is growing in our country, where an economist who speaks a foreign language can find application.

Mindfulness, diligence and a desire to learn new skills are the main qualities of a good economist or financier. Paradoxically, but now large financial institutions do not have enough qualified specialists with knowledge of a foreign language.

Lawyers

The field of activity of lawyers is very wide, it covers all aspects of public life. It depends on the sphere of professional activity of a lawyer whether he needs English in his work or not. Of course, lawyers working in government agencies do not need to know specific English. They work with citizens who speak the state languages. A lawyer can work without knowing English, but he misses out on unique opportunities.

Firstly, knowing English, you can realize yourself in the field of international law, and international lawyers, as a rule, have the highest salaries among colleagues. An international lawyer, by the nature of his professional activity, works with foreign partners and colleagues, gets acquainted with the documents in the original, so he must have an ever higher level of language training in order to carry out his professional activities.

Competition in the legal services industry is intensifying today, forcing law firms and individual lawyers to offer clients a wide range of services. With the arrival of foreign partners on the Belarusian market, legal services in a language convenient for these partners are in demand, so it is no longer surprising that employers put forward knowledge of a foreign language as one of the main requirements for the position of any lawyer.

This is one of the professions in which knowledge of the language can play a decisive role in employment. Don't miss your opportunity.

Interpreters (simultaneous interpreters, lecturers)

The profession of a translator is the first of those where knowledge of a foreign language is a necessity for fulfilling one's duties. Translators can work in publishing houses, translation bureaus and various organizations where such a specialist is needed, for example, to translate documents from foreign partner companies. Depending on the field of activity, translators must be fluent in linguistics and understand the language. This is a very difficult profession, in which there are many nuances.

For example, a simultaneous interpreter is an extremely difficult profession with the use of special equipment. The interpreter listens to speech through headphones and simultaneously (simultaneously) translates it. Listening and speaking in sync is incredibly difficult, because the speaker cannot be asked to repeat the text. Mastering the profession of a simultaneous interpreter requires thorough training. In addition, you need impeccable command of the language (native and English), a rich vocabulary, well-articulated literate speech, lightning-fast reaction and excellent memory. This profession requires talent, because gifted people can possess the above qualities. Synchronists of the highest class are rare, their work is appreciated.

The profession of a translator is not new, but modern living conditions require a new approach to work. The development of international communications has led to the fact that modern business representatives are increasingly visiting abroad, establishing contacts with foreign partners, conducting "reconnaissance in force" in a potential sales market. Previously, a person accompanying a businessman on a trip abroad was simply called a translator. He was not interested in the outcome of the negotiations. Today, heads of large companies are attracted not only by simple translation, but also by competent advice from an economist, manager, etc. This professional task is performed by an interpreter-referent.

Teachers, teachers

A foreign language teacher is one of the most important professions of our time. After all, knowing a foreign language in the 21st century is considered prestigious. Therefore, specialists who teach this skill are in great demand. Parents from an early age send their children to foreign language courses, hire tutors. Foreign language teachers are needed not only in schools. Colleges, institutes, academies also need talented teachers. There are faculties of foreign languages ​​in pedagogical and humanitarian universities, and in classical universities with a wide range of specialties.

The main professional duties of a teacher are to conduct classes, in the course of which they teach new information on their subject, repeat and consolidate what they have passed earlier, control and give marks, and also organize independent work of students. Learning English is often associated with hard work. You need to learn new words, memorize texts, memorize grammatical rules ... A teacher who presents material in an interesting way is appreciated by parents and loved by students.

To master this profession, you need to know perfectly the subject that you teach. In addition, the teacher needs to be sociable, have organizational skills, endless patience and creative imagination. It is necessary to regularly improve your professional level, because this specialty cannot be learned once and for all. There are no uniform teaching methods. With each new group, with each student, you have to create a unique method.

International Airlines Flight Attendants

Flight attendant (steward, stewardess) - a specialist in the rank and file on aircraft, responsible for organizing the pastime of passengers in air transport, as well as organizing flight safety measures and communicating between the aircraft crew and passengers. The duties of a flight attendant include ensuring the safety of passengers in flight, their service, creating an atmosphere of hospitality and comfort on board the aircraft. If a specialist works on an aircraft making an international flight, then he cannot do without knowledge of English. As a general rule, the steward must be proficient in English to the extent required by the special flight attendant training program.

The world's leading airlines pay great attention to the flight attendant competition, as flight attendants are the face of the airline. Throughout the flight, the flight attendant is under the close scrutiny of passengers. The general impression of the airline will depend on how the flight attendants interact with the passengers.

A high level of knowledge of the English language is one of the main requirements when applying for a job as a flight attendant, because such work involves constant communication with passengers who are citizens of different countries. Therefore, during the interview, close attention is paid to the level at which the candidate knows English.

Good spoken English will allow you to successfully pass an interview for employment with an airline. Such a person also needs to have excellent health (healthy nervous system, good eyesight and hearing, good function of the musculoskeletal, vestibular apparatus), physical endurance, competent speech and presentable appearance, be sociable and disciplined.

To acquire professions related to a foreign language, a good knowledge of the language is not enough. You need to master additional knowledge, be inquisitive, constantly expand your horizons, be sincerely interested in the area in which you want to work. This is not an easy path for the gifted and hardworking. If you are strong in spirit - go for it!

According to statistics, most often in search of work, Russians leave for Germany and Spain, Israel and Italy, the Czech Republic, Greece and the United States. There are also people willing to work in New Zealand and Australia. Those who come not on a work visa, but "at random", in Russian, have a difficult time - unskilled labor is not paid so high. But even qualified specialists do not eat honey with spoons - for most professions, recertification is required.

Who can get a job abroad, and what salaries attract Russians?

Nurses

They remain in high demand in many countries. Among them: Austria and Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Canada, Finland, Hong Kong and Germany, Ireland, India, Hungary, New Zealand and Norway, Slovenia, Singapore and Slovakia.

average salary - 44000-57000 $ / year.

• For example, Australia needs surgical and psychiatric nurses. The higher the knowledge of the language, the richer the experience, the greater the chances of employment.
• Great Britain is also very interested in these workers, in which this specialty is classified as "prestigious" and is paid very decently.
• In the USA (especially in the resort states) nurses are paid about $ 69,000 / year. In Sweden - 600-2000 euros / month (depending on the availability of a certificate).
• In Denmark - from 20,000 kroons (about 200,000 rubles / month).
• Well, in Austria, medical workers everywhere - honor and respect. Many people dream of entering the medical / faculty there precisely because of the high salaries.

Engineers

These specialists (different directions) are needed almost all countries in the world .

Of all industries most actively employed in the automotive industry, in the oil and gas industry, in the aerospace industry.

For example, the Austrian list of vacancies for mechanics, technicians and other engineers includes 23 specialties, including even specialists in cooling and heating systems. And thanks to the new system of employment, the chances of employment for potential foreign workers have increased significantly..

As for the salary , its average size is about $ 43,000 / year.

• The salary of an engineer in Germany is about 4000 euros / month, and after 6-7 years of work - already all 5000-6000 euros.
• You can also try your luck in the USA, Slovenia, Emirates.

Preference in different countries of the world, of course, is given to people with experience, education, knowledge of modern systems, equipment and PCs, as well as provided that they are fluent in at least English. Knowledge of the language of the country will be a key benefit.

Highly demanding, invariably, are highly specialized specialists with more than 2 years of experience and with a diploma of 2nd higher education.

Doctors

In most countries of the world, you will have to confirm the diploma you received, undergo testing and recertification. And in the USA or Canada, you will also have to work in residency for 2-7 years (note - like our residency). But then you can live happily ever after and enjoy your salary.

In the above countries, it is from 250,000 to 1 million $ / year.

In Germany, a doctor can count on $ 63,000 / year, and in New Zealand, anesthesiologists, surgeons, psychologists, and physical therapists are eagerly awaited, who are paid from $ 59,000 / year. In Finland, dentists and maxillofacial surgeons are required, and in Denmark it is so bad with doctors that they will even help with the legalization of a foreign diploma.

IT and computer technology

Nowadays, these specialists are required almost everywhere. From system engineers and analysts to database administrators, programmers and website developers themselves.

In principle, these specialists also make good money in Russia, but if you want more, then pay attention, for example, to the vacancies offered for computer security specialists. They really get fantastic salaries (over $ 100,000 / year) and are required in all developed countries.

However, don't forget about taxes. In particular, in the same USA 40% will be deducted from your salary, and in Europe - about 30% with an income of $ 55,000 / year.

Of course, being just a "cool hacker" is not enough. English should bounce off the teeth. That is, you have to practically think on it.

Teachers

Of course, there is an eternal shortage of specialists in this area. True, this is due to their career growth, and not to the lack of teachers.

How much pay? In European countries (Germany, England, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands), a teacher's salary is 2500-3500 euros / month, in Luxembourg - more than 5000 euros / month.

A teacher in France, Finland, Italy and Slovenia, Portugal and Norway will receive up to 2500 euros / month. And in Estonia, the Czech Republic or Poland, even less - about 750 euros.

To work abroad, you cannot do without an international certificate (note - EFL, TEFL, ESL, TESL and TESOL), with which you can get a job anywhere.

And don't forget about Asia (Korea, Japan, etc.)! There teachers are paid very decently.

Animators

For this "specialty", most often foreigners are hired in Turkey and Egypt, in Spain / Italy and Tunisia.

The work is hard (albeit at a resort), very exhausting, and a bad mood is prohibited and unacceptable.

Speak english you owe it to perfection. And if you also know German, French and Italian, then you will not get the price.

The salary… small. But stable. About 800 euros / month. For an experienced animator - 2200 euros / month.

By the way, Russian animators at the most famous resorts are preferred for their ingenuity, mobility, talent - to ignite the audience and involve them in the game.

Truck drivers

For this profession, nothing is impossible.

Our stern Russian trucker can easily find a job in almost any European country, if he has a category "E" license, ideally "spits" in colloquial English and has completed a 2-month internship.

How much money? The trucker gets $ 1300-2000 / month.

Lawyers

One of the most popular and demanded professions in many countries.

These are lawyers in Russia - a wagon and a cart, but there is nowhere to work. And in some states, a qualified lawyer - even during the day with fire, as they say ...

For example, in Italy they are the richest people in the country. Most of all, auto lawyers, notaries (with an income of more than 90,000 euros / year), and divorce specialists are in demand there. So, if you are a lawyer, you have studied the language and laws of Italy, and are eager to go to the sea and a big salary, then you should go to the south.

Builders

Always a popular profession. And everywhere.

In Germany, for example (if you speak German) tilers and installers, bricklayers and interior decorators are required.

The salary: from 2500 euros - for specialists, 7-10 euros / hour - for auxiliary workers and unskilled personnel.

• In Finland, they only pay well to large companies, regularly raising their earnings - you can earn about $ 3,000 per month.
• In Poland, you can hardly find a job (strong competition) and for 2-3 euros / hour.
• In Sweden, you can earn about 2,700 euros / month, and in Norway - 3,000.

Pharmacists

The shortage of pharmacists is now acutely felt almost all over the world - both in large reputable companies and in small pharmacies.

The salary can reach $ 95,000 / year.

Babysitting

The demand for this profession is also great all over the world. And even in Russia. True, we pay much less.

In Ireland, there are few vacancies and a lot of restrictions (note - age 18-36 years old, English / language, etc.), and the salary is about $ 250 / week.

In the United States, a nanny earns about $ 350 / week from the age of 21, and English is not required to perfection, because most often our nannies get a job with immigrants from Russia or the former USSR.

In an English-speaking family, you can (if you know the language and have water / license) earn up to $ 500 / week.

• A nanny's earnings in Israel are no more than $ 170 / week.
• In Spain / Italy - about $ 120 (35-50 years old).
• In Cyprus - no more than $ 70 / week.
• In Greece - about $ 100.
• In Portugal - no more than $ 200 / week, but for two with her husband (married couples are hired there).

Economists

In the banking sector, experienced professionals are needed everywhere. And, if you can boast of a specialized diploma and excellent language skills, then you are expected in all developed countries of Europe - for assessing risks, for making forecasts, for analyzing company data, etc.

As for the salary , you will receive an income of 3000 euros / month (on average).

It is better to start conquering a foreign economic Olympus with Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

And in Ireland, you can get a job as an accountant even if you do not know international / accounting standards.

Sailors

To find this vacancy, you don't even need to go to an interview - it will take place over the phone.

The license is another matter. Sometimes, to get it, you have to fly to exams (approx. - in English / language!) To another country.

In the absence of proper experience, usually crewing companies offer long-term contracts - up to 9-10 months. Moreover, a foreigner does not have to rely on a permanent contract - only a temporary one.

Maximum salary , for example, a star mech - 500 $ / day (with a successful combination of circumstances and a long contract), but most often the average earnings of our sailor abroad is about $ 1600-4000 / month, depending on qualifications.

Most often, "our brother" can be found in Norway, where Russian specialists are appreciated.

On a note: reputable companies do not advertise vacancies on the Internet. As a last resort - on personal sites.

Unskilled labor

Farm work.

This "hack" abroad is in demand (not very high, by the way) among our students, who want to see the world and earn money for a new iPhone.

As a rule, at this job you have to pick vegetables, berries or flowers somewhere in Sweden, England, Denmark or Poland for $ 600-1000 / month. True, you will have to work 10-12 hours / day with one day off.

And without knowledge of English, they won't even take you to dig up potatoes.

And in Denmark you can get a job as a laborer on a farm for 3500 euros / month.

Home assistant

To put it simply, a servant.

The easiest way to find a job in this very dusty job is in the USA, England, Germany and Canada. Meals and accommodation are paid, of course, by the employer.

You will be given a day off once a week (and even then not always), and income depends on many factors (place of stay, knowledge of the language, country, etc.), on average - from $ 700 to $ 2500 / month.

And most importantly, on a note:

Whatever your reasons for going to work abroad, pack your bags only after signing a contract or on a work visa. Private invitations can lead to a lack of salary, and sometimes even more dire consequences.
