Your career with languages is the first of three gradireland videos exploring the opportunities and career paths for those with fluency in more than one language. We talk to students and graduates about their own experiences of working in a second language and get the opinions of academics as to where future career paths and growth job areas for language graduates will be. We also talk to employers about what it is they are looking for from jobseekers when it comes to language ability.

The second in gradireland's series of language videos looks at the value of work and study placements abroad. Hear the views of employers, academics and graduates; who all agree that immersing yourself in the country and culture of another language is the best way to develop your fluency,
