Today, I applied for a job and got called in for an interview. I lied on my resume stating that I speak Japanese fluently. Turns out, my potential employer is half-Japanese and wants to conduct the interview entirely in Japanese. FML

Op here, wow I didn't know this would actually get published. Yeah I know I shouldn't have lied but I should probably mention that I do know some Japanese (more conversational than fluent, probably enough to be able to assist a customer). I figured it would be okay. Lesson learned. As you can probably figure out, I didn't get the job though.

The lesson you should've learned in the Japanese classes you took was that in Japanese society it is very rude for a foreigner to speak "broken" Japanese in a business setting as most Japanese businessmen speak English fluently. We always use a legitimate translator when in business setting in Japan
