Fujitsu: Why Speaking German Takes You to The Top

Fujitsu: Why Speaking German Takes You to The Top

Today´s post was written by Magdalena Malczak from Fujitsu.

It’s no secret that German has become extremely popular in Europe to use these days. In fact, after English, it is the most in demand langauge in Europe by a long way.

In Fujitsu alone we support 16 different projects with German language. Regardless of whether you are a student looking to have a part-time job or postgraduate that is in search of stability and maintaining a normal working week.

If your German is on a conversational level, Poland has a lot to offer you. Sometimes the craziest decisions bring the most joy.


When I was actually visiting the beautiful Titesee in Germany, I received a call from one of the Fujitsu managers offering me a job – surely they tested language capabilities first – but I was mostly surprised that someone would be willing to wait for me two whole months and take such a huge risk, not getting to know me in person. Taking this “accidental”  job offer as a Customer Service Technician with German and English turned out to be one of best choices in my life. After two years of experience, I was promoted to Service Controller and now, for almost one and the half year, I have been working as a Team Manager. Together with my dearest team, we strive for customer satisfaction on a daily basis and create our own unique atmosphere, beyond comparison to any other.

Learning new languages broadens your mind

As much as we love German - and we do! – we are driven by the passion of using lots of different foreign languages at work. Learning and perfecting language is what we do, and it’s a great way to not only boost your professional profile, but also to broaden your mind.

It’s a proven fact that multilingual people are more open-minded and have advanced levels of cognitive ability. Does this sound like you? Maybe you’re about to follow in the footstep of Fujitsu´s Marcin…

I used to study international political relations with focus on German speaking countries. Unexpectedly, I got to know from one of my colleagues that some big company [Fujitsu] was looking for people with language skills and especially German.
At this time, I felt that I was entering a bus only for a short trip, which in fact became a long and interesting journey through many places. And at some point I started to be the driver. Now, after 7,5 years in this company I am one of the Operations Managers leading – together with my colleague – a team of over 160 people, who support customers all around the world. Surely, the Centre in Lodz became a truly multinational environment to work in

You have the possibility to work in one of 16 language lines that we have available in Fujitsu and that’s not the end – we are still growing and exploring undiscovered territories, so keep an eye out for our job offers listed below.

But how do you actually start your adventure with Fujitsu? There are many ways to initiate it, but surely for each of us it was a beginning of a new chapter - that from part-time, student or insignificant job - evolved to a more impacting role in one’s life.
