ADB Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Does this mean I shouldn't have dropped French after Grade 9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue pickeral Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Does this mean I shouldn't have dropped French after Grade 9? Would have made no difference....there is the 'school' French, then the real French which to me sounds like a chain saw at WOT..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue pickeral Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 if its in southwestern ontario why do you think you need to speak french? Probably makes you more adaptable within the company...vacation relief in other parts of the country..or say in the case of addressing warranty claims: English - no En Francais - non Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishnwire Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 What an employer is really asking for when they state they want someone who is "fluently bilingual", is someone who has a french background. I would bet dollars to doughnuts that the person in charge of making hiring decisions is French himself, and simply prefers to employ his "own kind". Try getting a job in Ontario in the logging/lumber industry if you're not French...good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokestackLightnin Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 if its in southwestern ontario why do you think you need to speak french? You would be working with dealers in Quebec and other parts of the country that will only speak French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
