i think it depends where are you going to work. if you're going to work in a French-speaking country or place, then choosing French would be the practical thing to do. but for me, i would choose English because English is the international language, i can use it everywhere and i won't be limited to certain places.
good luck!

Hi andrejuly! In my experience, if you come from country that is not English speaking it would be better to have an English certificate so you can work abroad. Usually, if you want to work abroad one of the requirements is that you are fluent in English and the certificate will just prove that. However, it also depend on what kind of job you are applying for. Also, English is the universal language nowadays and it is more advantageous if one can prove that you do have that language skill. Just my thoughts dear! Take care and have a nice day! :)

it would depend on the area that you want to be concerned dear. in europe and african continent, as own my knowledge, people on there prefer to use french than english, so it would be better if you choose french than english.
but in asia, US, and Australia continent, people more familiar to use english rather than french. well, if possible, it would be great if you able take both of them
