Languages of the World

The internationalization and globalization is what they have. Compared with no job offers for many years in which they appreciated the fact that they knew a second language came to be a prerequisite, and thus appeared in the Job so at this point become something that companies often take for granted, so that many no longer include in their ads.

For this reason, when a job emphasized today the need for a profile in which the candidate speaks a second or more Languages , because it really is a need for that post, so if you do not give the profile, it is foolish to send your application.

It has become, according to recent studies in the curriculum in the most lying, because the question to speak another / s language / s , and the quality of this is very subjective. For a person speaks a second language, as you listen to another, the level is minimal.

So it has become a point I would not say where it lies, which is simply exaggerated.

Many think that when a job offer is required knowledge in languages, as a kind of filter, so that always tends to put candidates who possess knowledge at an appropriate level of a second language, while having a minimal level of knowledge.

What we’re really doing is wasting time. When a job offer a company requests a second language and so recorded in the bid, it is because you really need. In that sense it is almost certain that if you get the interview refer to your knowledge or you do a test, or by that date “caught.” To avoid unnecessary loss of time, eager not in the curriculum.

In pure logic, not long ago, almost exclusively, the second most demanded language was English (for non-English speaking countries of course). The English language is considered par excellence of the international financial world, plus tax is the second language in the Spanish educational system (mostly).

All of this makes any candidate put it on your resume a second language, and that is true, but then to dominate it is a long way.

And lately has been introducing a second language or third highly useful, is “Chinese.”

The economic boom in this country (China), growth expectations and involve many sectors of activity have become an emerging power that wants to expand their markets to western world and vice versa. So are abounding lately demands of employment with knowledge of Chinese.

German and French are the languages most in demand.

Geographic mobility as essential in any job opening

For years, I would say better decades, Spain has always been an exporter of labor. The Migration was made from the 50s onwards became routine in Spanish families. Indeed it was rare to find someone who does not have a faniliar in .

emigration

The lack of resources and work in Spain led to the need to move for work. This is what is called the Migration . But what about the “ external migration “?

Within our own borders, there were movements of labor to specific points of the peninsula. Well into the textile and manufacturing sector, moved people to Catalonia, as well as for the steel industry blast furnaces and moved people into the Basque Country. This is what he has termed the “ migration < >“.

The first is that is made clear to other countries. But the second has changed over the years and has adapted and acquiring a new name: “

“. geographical mobility

When the economic boom linked to the beginning of democracy, all regions experienced a growth of industries with what people did not need to move both its area of resiencia.

But since the mid-90 economic sectors have become a target geographically, with the consequent transfer of labor to the suppliers of labor.

And the thing is polarized because of the crisis. According to the study of “Catenon 2009 on job satisfaction at work”, of which we have already spoken on this blog, 67% of job seekers are willing to have a

mobility (or even the International ), so to get a job.

It is becoming a prerequisite in any offer of work which indicate that they possess geographical mobility. The time at which the work was so close to you has become very distant and quein is in this case can be considered a privilege.

At the moment he is given a job in the

mobility so much importance to the training or experience.

When you have to have an aggravation, that is the fact that globalization has made companies have spread throughout the terrirtorio national establecimeintos permanent, and as that puts the principles of profitability, not the establishment you get the expected yield, only awaits the closure, whereupon, if you want to continue working in that company, no more solution you have the

. mobility

A tip for today, at a job now, if you ask “do you have mobility” the correct answer is “total.”

Low maternal

In previous post we were seeing is the maternity leave from Spain. Analyze how much from covers time and forms that can be taken, how to apply , how is the financial benefit ‘to’ and related permits. This post will expand the topic to the entire Europe, to learn, comparatively, how the current situation on the maternity leave , as well as what is proposed from the European Union.

16 weeks with Spain that provides for low, is positioned in eighth place, with regard to who gives more time, within the European countries. Whoever comes first is Sweden. This Nordic country provides 96 weeks before delivery gives a prenatal allowance for 50 days, and then gives a parental benefit for 450 days.

The number of weeks varies throughout the continent, there is no uniformity regarding this item . Usually ranges between 14 and 28 weeks. Although, now, is being discussed in Parliament on at least 14 weeks of maternity leave, to be extended to 20 weeks. Here are few cases of particular countries:

• Italy Two months before delivery and three after it. The salary that is charged during this period is 80% of the average wage earned in the month preceding the low

• France For first and second child, the low is 16 weeks. If the mother has a third child, up to 26 weeks low. The benefit to be paid is 84% of salary base

• Austria: 16 weeks, with the provision of salary to 100%

As mentioned above,

the European Parliament (PE) has applied to raise the minimum length of maternity leave to 20 weeks , whichever is mandatory for them 6 weeks after birth. Who has studied this issue is the Commission on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, which belongs to the EP in order to improve the reconciliation of family and working women.
Parliament voted

It also advocates that the 6 weeks after delivery, the salary is 100%. Then, for the rest of the weeks of leave, the salary is at least 85%. Another measure adopted is that there is in all member states a paternity leave of 2 weeks. Many states such as Germany, Austria or The Netherlands, who rose up against him.

The Commission’s proposal has not yet been approved. Is that

EP political groups fail to agree about everything that the Commission, which is why the EU, with majority support of grassroots groups (PPE) and liberal, returned the case to the Commission to modify the item, is, broadly speaking, unclear and inadequate.

There are many different positions on the issue.

The fact is that when there is no uniformity, and the views that the issue will be resolved with the new European Parliament .

Therefore, it follows that

it is not certain that will happen with the minimum of 20 weeks as proposed by the Commission. Now, with legislation requiring a minimum of 14 weeks for the low. Spain, meanwhile, provides 16 weeks . If it gets to completing the extension to 20 weeks minimum low, the EU member states should set limits, but always taking the lowest of weeks before the EP.

Two positions in the European

To go a little in the climate of the EP on this extension, I suggest reading these two positions.

• In his favor: Edite Estrela (PES, Portugal, rapporteur). Best recovery: a maternity leave of at least 20 weeks is “ the appropriate time period to help women recover after childbirth, to promote links maternal subsidiaries and to encourage breast-feeding the newborn in the first months of life “.

• Against them: Edit Bauer (EPP-ED, Slovakia). Discourage the hiring of women. “ There are countries like Germany, where maternity leave is paid by the employer. These countries, because of its current economic problems, are strongly against the extension of maternity leave “.

While many Spaniards

continue to opium high quality provided by victory in the Champions League FC Barcelona’s something cooking in the United States. Obama continues social policy from the very antithesis of his predecessor George W. Bush . Proof: George W. Bush had invited only once to the President of the trade union confederation AFL-IOC to the White House in eight years. Even during the era! An official dinner with the pope! Surely the protocol forbade him uninvited.

Barack Obama in South Carolina

On the contrary, Barack Obama gets it almost every week. True, in part due to his election conducted door to door in his favor by the militant union AFL-IOC. To this union hold the Democratic Party, including financially, is part of the tradition of the country.

But this time, Barack Obama made a commitment to the AFL-IOC facilitate union companies in . Until now, it was necessary for 50% of employees of the company passed, voting by show of hands in the workplace, creating a branch for it to be carried out. The management knew that it had voted in favor and against whom, on many occasions acted accordingly after a while.

In recent days, it might be possible that the vote was done by correspondence. In more limited than the model allowed. It is the Employee Free Choice Act Now, employers and the Republican Party are totally against and have expressed their opposition against the reform. However, it appears that Barack Obama is ready to meet his campaign promise to .

The American President takes into account the fact of association and workers’ movements is a necessity if you want to humanize the market economy and achieve social peace. It’s something that seems sensible from our point of view American, but surely has cost them more than a headache to those who were behind the campaign. Fortunately, in Spain there is no such need exists and a more or less direct confrontation between those who manage the capital, their lobbyists (who are often political) and employees on the other.

In Spain t an enema story a little confusing unions , in part because of the rebates Paquito El Corte Inglés illegal trade union history and placed unions allied to the regime.

In part because Mr. Zapatero has spread to over seven million euros to CCOO and UGT, respectively to keep more than two hundred thousand lazy Sorry, for free. Why believe that there has been no strike in our country despite the crisis?
