“As a recent graduate with no experience in the “real” job industry, my knowledge of the German culture and language made me a stand out among applicants.  It helped me receive an offer over other internal Bosch/Bosch affiliate employees that typically receive preference since they are already with Bosch.  It also opens the door for international assignments in one of the multiple plants Bosch has – not only in Germany but worldwide. And it also doesn’t hurt when you can speak to the VPs of entire product groups in their native tongue!”
