“Stuck in a dead-end job? Tap your bilingual skills to blast out to a lucrative fast-track career.”

Cindy Jeon, Goldsea Career Success Center, Spring 2006

For Asian Americans who have felt that your bilingual skills can be seen as a liability, Cindy Jeon suggests that you might be looking for work in the wrong place. With business booms in many Asian countries, your language and cultural skills will be a great asset to the right company. This article discusses various industries, such as financial services, nursing/health care, national security, and real estate, with a high demand for bilingual workers, as well as how Asian Americans’ skills fit into the larger picture.
