Have you ever considered how improving your English skills could open up a world of remote work opportunities?
In this episode, I spoke with Laura Morales, a digital nomad and expert in mass communication. We spoke about the importance of English proficiency in accessing remote job opportunities. Laura highlighted that jobs requiring English tend to be better paid and offer the chance to work with people from various cultures. She also emphasized the need to pay attention to business English, as it differs from social English. Despite challenges such as grammar and cultural differences, practicing English daily at work can lead to significant improvement. Laura stressed that while AI tools can help with grammar and writing, they cannot replace the need for strong English skills, especially in client-facing roles.
Laura discussed how English proficiency is crucial for remote work, as it enables effective communication with international colleagues and clients. She emphasized that even a B1 or B2 level of English can be sufficient to start in a remote job, with opportunities for improvement through daily use and training. Laura also noted that industries like IT and marketing are in high demand for English-speaking roles. Additionally, she highlighted the importance of cross-cultural communication skills, as remote workers interact with colleagues from diverse backgrounds.
