Failed a job interview

| Woke up and got a phone interview first thing in the morning. The HR lady decided to test my English level asking what hobbies I have in it. I couldn't say gaming and anime, so I panicked, got flustered bad. Said I'm learning Japanese. She says why. Once again I couldn't say gaming and anime. Said cause I have time and interest. She said my English ain't gonna cut it. I'm a bit depressed. Not that I hated it, but it seems like I'll be a neet forever.


| Oh well, one door closes another opens. Just be honest that you like games, no need to lie the interviewer likely doesn't care. Next interview.


| haha what a weeb loser


| >>441512 yeah and how was your last interview, pray tell?


| Is English your first language, OP?


| >>388376 Why would anyone test someone's English level if it's their first language lol, def not.


| Nope second


| Honestly op should have just said you're into animes and video games


| Honestly op should have just said you're into animes and video games


| I would have said "gaming and anime. Yeah, I'm kinda a nerd."


| Now go out and fail some more job interviews until you make it!


| Just go with entertainment.


| >>389255 this


| I think I'll take a few weeks break and then ask the employment center to get me a job. Fuckers always ask to do a test taking hours sometimes and ignore me or just ignore. That one was the most progress I had.


| The problem is not that you like vidya and anime, the problem is that you are ashamed of it. If you are so ashamed of it maybe you should start a new hobby. If not, get confortable saying it or learn to lie


| Just prepare for the question so you can lie about it better, if it's asked in another interview


| >>389255 this again. You even going out shows you want it. Fail forward, fail better.


| My parents always sort of shamed me for it. Said why you won't just watch tv like a normal person, when will you grow up so I guess I can't feel confident about it. >>389852

I know how you feel, I wouldn't say that you can't but it is true that it may take some work


| You gotta work that confidence.

no resson to lie about hobbies. They're hobbies. You won't lose (or gain) anything.

Either way, if you feel this bad about your hobbies, you can use different words, like "entertainment" like someone above said.

You might as well find a new hobby, too, like reading, or something.



Or you can just take some time to prepare yourself to lie better lol
