The official language or all documentation and email correspondance is English, but in each country, day to day interaction in the office is in the local language. A few people do get by with little Hebrew, but they are only a handful, no more. IMO, learning the language of the place where one wants to work/live is essential to any success unless the person is a super-talented consultant type whose professional abilities can outweigh any language issues.

You will not regret it. Finding a job here based on your current language skills is possible but difficult. Also- I helped someone get a job at Google in Tel Aviv, and Hebrew is very much needed there since they spend a lot of time localizing Google tools for the Israeli market. But as you can see from the job fair above, there most definitely are jobs for English speakers in Israel.

I’m 20 and have been living in Australia nearly all my life and have been thinking about living overseas once I’m done with my degree. I’m curious about job opportunities in Israel for English speakers, particularly ones to do with web design. Tel Aviv is the area that I’m particularly interested in. Getting a job at somewhere like the Google office there would be wonderful. The only language I really know is English, as well as a little bit of Italian and French, how essential is it to know Hebrew? I don’t plan leaving to go anywhere for at least 2 more years which would perhaps be enough time to get some Hebrew knowledge. Hello, my name is Phillip.
