Is Your Accent Hurting Your Career?

Pick Your Industry Wisely

Just how much your prickly pronunciation can hurt you depends upon the industry you're in.

With a strong regional accent it may be more difficult to get a job as a newscaster. Client-facing jobs such as sales and customer service may not be for you because many customers need to be impressed.

If you need to talk for a living and need to win people over, watching them cringe at your accent or struggle to understand you is going to be difficult.
