Resumes for speechwriting

This week, several entry-level speechwriters asked me to review their resumes.  In each case I asked, “Do you have any foreign language skills?”  In each case, they had some basic skills … in Spanish, German, French, etc.

I urged them to cite those skills on their resumes.  Even “reading-only” foreign language skills have value.  And if you’re fluent in several languages?  Make sure to note that on your resume.  It’s an advantage.
