Www.DCommunication-group.com Career Sin # 1: Not properly speaking the language When moving to another country to work you cannot expect that anyone is going to take you seriously as long as you do not take yourself seriously. You cannot claim that you are a professional when your language is so bad that no one can understand what you are saying. We all make fun of people who do not speak properly and we take it as a fault. Why do you think this does not apply to you? What to do? If you want to be taken seriously as a professional, be professional. Learn the language properly instead of complaining how hard it is. It shows your ability to learn, cope and adapt. If possible, learn even more languages, that is always a plus. Just remember: DO IT PROPERLY. Page 4
