56【MinMin】Job Interview

The other day,  I had two job interviews on the same day. Let's call them “A company” and “B company”.  “A Company” was quite similar to jobs I’ve  done in the past, so I thought it would be easy to get used to, and I might enjoy it.  On top of that, They seemed to have a better understanding of working mothers which is very important to me. But unfortunately, there would not be many opportunities to use English. Anyway, I think the interview went very well.  The next interview was with “B company”.  To be honest, I was more interested in B company because I saw a recruiting advertisement that said something like “Please use your English skills to help us!”  The salary was also a little bit higher than A company. The job interview was mostly in English.  They were looking for someone who could use very polite and advanced English and was good at communicating with people from diverse fields, which I don’t have any experience with.  Unfortunately, my English seemed to be at a lower level than what they were looking for, but I wanted to get the job somehow!  I was just thinking about how much my English skills could improve down the road if I did that kind of work.  I felt willing to study business English intensively during the whole of March to prepare to start in April.  I told my recruiting agent after the interviews, “B will be a challenge for me, but I like that!  So I would prefer to work for Company B.“ On the way home, I cooled down a bit and realized my misstep.  I thought to myself, “Oh no!  I can’t work there!  I couldn’t even answer the interview questions properly… Don’t make your life harder MinMin!” Without waiting for the results, I immediately called the agency to apologize and let them know that I would decline an offer from B Company. I kind of feel like I dodged a bullet by not pursuing B Company.  If I tried to work for them, I might feel suffocated by stress from work, which is the last thing I need right now.  Thankfully, I received a job offer from A Company and I will start in April.  ——————————————————————  🗣Do you study English?
