Explanation

I apologize for the "fool me once" post. I should be more descriptive.

A couple of months ago, I had an interview with PR agency. During the phone interview, I had specifically told the person I was not particularly fluent in Mandarin--especially reading and writing. She told me it wasn't a problem and that I should still come in for the interview. Turns out it was a problem--not a minor problem, but a MAJOR problem. The PR director was nice enough to tell me that PR agencies in Taiwan use mostly Chinese to communicate with vendors/media and that the chances of me landing a job in PR was next to nothing. Lesson learned.

Last week, another PR agency called and asked me to come in for an interview. I was very straight up with him about my lack of Chinese and he said it wasn't a problem. *insert deja vu* So against my better judgment, I still went. After filling out a brief application form, I was told that I wasn't qualified for the job. WTF?

Retards, I tell ya. Fuckin retards.
