    Hi, Im a teacher and am considering a career change. I would ideally like to get into some form of business, preferably international. I have a degree in French and German and an MA in French. I also speak Spanish. I can only see call centre style jobs on jobsites. Has anybody got any experience of similar qualifications in business? I know it's very vague but I am hoping for inspiration. I would be happy to upskill. All suggestions welcome *Please dont say burn my arts degree:)

    Google, linkedin, paypal all will hire with a language but your lack of business experience won't help you. I would say check out a company called lionbridge, they are a translations company based in dun laoghaire and I know they are looking for a language coordinator at the moment.
