That's not what fluent means though.
HR usually considers your written skills "fluent" if you can read a random newpaper (no tabloid) article and give a short summary of what it said. spoken would be having a casual conversation without major breaks or stammering. The next level would be business fluent, which includes knowledge of industry-specific technical terms and having the ability to argue for and against a position in a discussion.

serious question: do you just like to learn languages because you like it or do you actually believe that learning languages is anything that will make you more marketable? Because it's not, apart from very specific jobs (like being an official for the EU or something which requires you to know 2 EU languages apart from English).

Practically EVERY serious businessman speaks English or has a translator. You don't need to learn any language apart from English and the language of the country you are coming from, except you want to go to work in one specific other country.
I don't understand why people waste their time learning any language besides English.
