English fluency loses ground in want ads
Han Hyun-sook, president of Joblink, said yesterday that 28 percent of the 21,000 new job listings on its site this month asked for applicants fluent in a foreign language other than English. That figure is 10 percentage points higher than a year ago. Joblink said that 38 percent of the postings that mentioned a foreign language named Japanese, and another 30 percent were seeking Chinese-speaking employees, mostly for marketing and sales positions.
