Today, I went to an important job interview. I was really anxious but tried to soldier on anyway. When I was called in, my nerves got so bad that I reverted to speaking my second language. Not first, second. I'm pretty sure I'm not getting the job. FML

Being trilingual, this happens to me quite often. Mainly speaking French in English class. Speaking my third language in my second language class? Logic. :)

Pretty sure being bilingual is a positive thing in most job interviews.

Ask them if they would be so kind as to let you try again.

The iOs official app sucks. It doesn't tell the location. I have to use the android app to see that it was posted in Japan.

I dunno; I'm impressed. When my nerves seize up, I can barely speak my first language.

Well if you don't get the job, Just reapply after some time. Hopefully they forget and you get the job

Chances are, if they are doing interviews, they are no longer accepting applications.
