Language certificates, are they worth it? After some time abroad I recently moved back to Italy, fortunately it didn't take long for me to find a new job but I'm not fully satisfied with it. I work alot, and I mean ALOT, and the salary isn't adequate to the volume of work. So I'm considering the idea of finding a new job, possibly in my field since I'm experienced. I'm willing to move abroad if it's necessary, I'm always open to new challenges and I really love to travel, so I found myself thinking: "would a language certificate make my life easier?" and after alot of ponder I didn't come up with a final and conclusive answer... Do you guys think I should give it a go or not?

Language certificates, are they worth it?

After some time abroad I recently moved back to Italy, fortunately, it didn't take long for me to find a new job but I'm not fully satisfied with it. I work a lot, and I mean A LOT, and the salary isn't adequate to the volume of work.

(now i see this is a note,not a discussion.I can't delete my comment...) I'd say it certainly can't hurt. I think the more you know a language, the less you need a certificate. If great fluency is needed, they'll do the interview at least partially in the desired language. But if there are many people applying, they may sort out the ones without the certificates beforehand. Though if you have work experiences in your CV that proves your language skills, I think the lack of paper won't be a problem.
