Last Friday I went on a job interview. As it turned out, the company that was looking for a customer caring person sold herbal medicine from far far away. (I shan't mention it on my blog where the company came from, so don't even ask me about it. Here anyway.) They also sell err... machines like.. massage stuff and whatnot.

Anyway, you have to be a member to order their stuff, give them all your personal information, etc, so it's not to my taste. And without knowing it I applied for a job that requires me to talk to pissed off customers. Yipee.

So, last Friday was the first interview. Then they told me about the company, what they do, what the job requires. They also told me that next time, if I get selected for the next interview, they'll tell me how much they'd be willing to pay and listen to my English.

Today was my second interview with them. The boss talked to me about... my skills. Nothing else. I went there for half an hour to make smalltalk. Nobody spoke to me in English, they didn't ask me to speak in English. And they didn't tell me how much they'd pay me.

They said I'll get a call saying yes or no next week and if it's a yes they'll set a date asap and then I can sign a contract. And only then, after they said yes will they tell me how much they'd pay me. (Or look at my English. Isn't that weird?)

Let's just say something's not kosher.

Even my mother says it's not kosher. Which is really something. So... I must admit I kinda hope they don't pick me, although it's close by (for a month or two, before they are scheduled to move far far away) and I want a job.

So. If the pay's not decent I'm gonna say no. I just hope they won't try to pull anything.
