In Taiwan, having English speaking, reading, and writing will gain chances to have a job, as long as you have the ability, you are likely to have a further talking with companies' department head or top management. About 3 years ago, I came across a real situation on reading people's on-line resume as a secretary. Yes, it is hard for people to compete with others as people's education are getting higher and higher, for those who don't have enough money to study oversea, they usually lie on their resume or being silly when they fill out the Language column. It is obvious to see and tell this person having a ability to use English or not by looking at their previous workplaces, experiences, and education. It is funny that people don't actually have the ability to use English as a tool but they still want to show they might have a potential ability to use their native language for applying a job. Here is a typical silly statement what i saw on hundred on-line resumes.
Language:
English very good good average bad |
Listening |
Speaking |
Reading |
Writing |
Japanese very good good average bad |
Listening |
Speaking |
Reading |
Writing |
Chinese very good good average bad |
Listening v |
Speaking v |
Reading v |
Writing v |
From above, it can be seen that some Taiwanese are funny, it is understandable that having an language skill is helpful but for native speakers, good at speaking in Chinese is radical since we were born with and speak along with.
And YES!!! Good at listening, speaking, reading and writing in Chinese is good but that is impossible for anyone, even for the foreigners to master their mother tongues.
And NO!!! We will not consider to hire you first.
