I too have an English degree with writing emphasis – generally showing that you are capable of communication is the biggest advantage you will have while looking for a job. I have never had a problem getting a job based upon not having enhanced my education with business certification, but I have indicated in my application that I am willing to obtain such upon receipt of a job offer – and the company I worked for paid for the courses! There are too many people with business or marketing degrees out there, and not enough that know proper sentence structure or syntax, and more frequently large companies are looking for that ability to effectively communicate ideas. Good luck!
I would go for two options:
BEC (Business certificate English).
BULATS .
Both are business certifications from Cambridge University Press, they are internationally recognized and they are for life.
So I think these can help you in many situations.
