MENA-related job openings in Finance in Motion

It’s not an entry level job but I am posting these positions anyway. They give a fair example of how Oriental languages can be useful in combination with certain degrees. How many times we listened to someone saying: “Learn Oriental languages and you will surely find work”? And with this in mind, how may did end up picking language studies or international politics or area studies at university, only to discover later on that the job market for those with those qualifications is way too narrow?

Here’s a good example of a competitive combination in the job market: a quite common degree – economics or business administration –combined with a specialization in emerging markets or development economics and with two foreign languages - Arabic and French.
