He looked at my resume, and said "Oh you've got tutoring experience...taught a Korean? North or South Korean?"
I tried my very best not to roll my eyes, but forced a laugh and said "Hahaha South."
He went on mumbling something that he used to live in Korea for a few years or something like that. He then told me that I had to commit myself a year although there's a 6 month contract. It's because he wanted to make sure that they made a profit by "investing" in me in training me for 3 months and would let me go when he decided that he had "used" me enough. Do people from banks talk like that? Or is he just crude?
Anyway he blabbered on, and then asked me what I did during internship. I said something that I worked in a small company so I had to do a lot of things, cleaning whatever, and he took delight in that. He asked me why I applied for this job, and I gotta admit that my answer was stupid when I said that the work environment seemed nice from the official website because the bank were active in social responsibility and the arts, which was something that people don't associate with banks, and that I'll have a chance to use Japanese. He gave a laugh and said "You think we're all money hungry bastards eh?"
He then began challenging me by asking me how much I knew about the bank, like how many employers they had, or something like that. He made me feel uncomfortable already, then told me to do a role play when I had no idea how to respond. There were two other employers who were there to interview me as well, and I thought that it was truly the worst interview I've ever had, even though I've tried to prepare myself beforehand. And when they told me that using Japanese would be super limited, which was a few computer terms, I thought of saying sayonara to them straight. To think I even had to act like I didn't mind doing administrative work.
To be honest I wanted to be crude and say "I'm attracted to this job's pay." Which was pretty good, but the ang mo just had to insult me by not saying an exact amount, but only said that I'll be laughing with joy when I receive the pay because I told them my expectation would be around $1500. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't give me a second interview, but neither would I hope for one because I don't think I'll be happy in that job.
For the first time I really felt the effects of the economic slowdown man. Its so hard to land yourself in a decent job. I think I should just apply for jobs that would be happier to see my Digital Media Design Diploma.
