Should I bother applying for a Job which lists "Written and spoken Portuguese or Spanish;" as an essential criteria.
I match most of the rest of the essential and desireable criteria. Plus this was in the desireable criteria for my current job but I still got the job becuase my other skills outweighed the need to speak the langages.
However this job is a readvertisement and judging by the ammount of times they mention the language skills in the advert and additional papers I think that in the last round they were not able to find anyone who could speak the langages and had the other skills needed.

If it's no skin off your nose it's worth a shot, just don't lie.
good luck though
It doesn't always, depends how desperate they are getting!
mainly because training can be given in a package, where as if you dont know spanish, you dont know spanish! :thumb:
it is obviously required for the job and isnt something that is easy to be trained up on
Apply for the job, Wyetry. The worst they can do is say no.
Each to their own, but Spanish evidently isn't essential as there is an option between portugese and spanish, which implies that there is a degree of flexibilty.
Your call wyetry but I would knock off a personnal statement (don't put much effort in though) and give it a shot. If nothing else you'll then have a personnal statement started that you can adjust for the next job.h
This does seem like a good idea.
But its liasing with partners in brazil but also south east asia and southern africa so the Latin American bit is only part of the job - hummm. I'd even offer to job share.......
Good luck
