2nd language when looking for that elusive first job?

I know the whole "that elusive first job" and "what can I do to set myself out from the crowd" thing has been done to death on here, and I have no intention of starting one of these all over again, but I was rather curious as to whether there are any advantages (if any) for a pilot setting out looking for a new job if they knew a second (or third) language, especially languages like German, Chinese or Japanese seeing that they would make a decent portion of tourists in Australia.

Obviously I'm talking about being fluent in a language, not just a matter of getting an 'A' in year 10 because you could count to 20 and know how to introduce yourself and ask where the toilet is.

It's usually something that's not mentioned in the "going up north" threads, so had me wondering.
