Roger,
As an engineer your ability to communicate in English is very important.
I appreciate that English may not be your first language, but as a licensed engineer you may be expected to fill out a component warranty claim form, log cards or OEM incident report, and for the most part these will need to be written in English.
I am always impressed by anyone who makes the effort to better themselves and I think your wish to work for a good organisation is very admirable, indeed even in the face of a global economic down-turn there is still a global shortage of good licensed engineers.
This global shortage is only going to get worse in the coming years, presenting opportunities for engineers like you to benefit from. But don’t forget, that aircraft engineering is as much about the quality of your written communication skills as it is your ability to use a spanner or screwdriver.
Good luck
