German native speakers who are able to report in English and who also have a good working knowledge of another DW language;

Native speakers of another language that is part of DW’s language services – especially Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, French, Russian or Spanish. If not a native German or English speaker, candidates also require a good working knowledge of both of these two languages.
