I need a Japanese friend. Wednesday, April 15, 2009 @ 2:48 PM
I finally decided to engage in the help of a recruitment company called Pasona Singapore, where I thought the chances of helping me to land in a Japanese speaking company would be higher. Anyway I had to re-type my resume all over again in word format before sending it out. The company just had to call when I was sleeping!! One guy called at around 10.30, when I was still happily snoozing in bed even after being woken up by an alarm I set myself. And so the guy was like "Hi is this Christine? I'm calling from Pasona and I've just received your resume" Oh what! Oh shit! My voice my voice! *Trying to kek my voice as sing-song and bright and cheerful* "Oh yes hi speaking!" I swear my voice was trembling. He went on going to ask in detail about my work experience and asked what my interests would be. My mind was really quite blank at that particular moment and I remembered giving out very stupid answers. And then he went on to ask about my knowledge of the Japanese language and suddenly he told me he'll engage me to his Japanese colleague. Cho....cho...MATTE!!! WHAT?! You mean to tell me I'm going to get assessed by a Native Japanese?! *BING BONG BING BONG* Without even waiting for me to say yes or giving me any time for mental preparation he passed the call to a Japanese female who talked so fast she'll make any rapper slack-jawed in awe. I get an uneasy feeling she's not even trying to hold back even slightly for someone who has clearly stated that she's got no work experience in speaking Japanese at all. Anyway after a few excruciating minutes and my dumb, few worded answers she finally passed the call back to the English speaking guy. Oh crap I swear all my innards collapsed in relief after that. The guy then asked me "Oh so how did it went?" (IN SUCH A CASUAL TONE ALSO!) I: Er hurhurhurhurh ya.... He was pretty good at translating my hurhurhur language though. "Nervous yeah?" DUHHHHHH!!!! Inner Christine screamed. I: Eherherherherher yah... ^^'' Oh I'm such a failure. I still had the cheek to ask for a Japanese speaking job when all I can do is stutter. Not just in Japanese but in English also! I won't be surprised if they can't find a job for me really. Think its time for me to continue my search for a job... I think I really need to brush up speaking in Japanese. It's terrible. Any Japanese people you know of? |
