Had a phone interview with a well known tech company today...

I can handle Engrish in written communications and even in person just fine.

Over the phone....not so much. Especially when it's a technical phone interview and the interviewer is trying to explain complex questions.

Well, I think you're screwed for any tech job then.

I agree. I'm pretty good at understanding foreign accents now... professors, co-workers and so on have all helped me in that area.

 

[Gothgar]

Microsoft?

Google?

So they didn't accept you for a job offer?

Dude, you stole my avatar...

 

[HardcoreRobot]

what obvious reasons?

 

[SunnyD]

You didn't do the needful.

So they didn't accept you for a job offer?

This thread certainly hasn't disappointed.

 

[JS80]

My guess is Qualcomm

That sounds familiar, like thread from the past 😀

Called Comcast to have my RNG110 box activated, guess what..... Indian accent... 😱

 

[JS80]

Microsoft?

Google?

My guess is no. Non-english speakers get filtered out because they won't be able to communicate with the asshole interviewer.

Dear Apple cant,

I am very offending and sadly. There not a thing of bad about my English. You sound like choppy and cannot afford phone bill. You not fit for company technological and cannot believe you try work here when you not pay phone!

 

[endervalentine]

Mind sharing what company and what questions you were asked?

If you truly really believe you would have killed the interview if you understood him, then I would ask to have another interview. The problem with that is that the person that you interviewed would prob. be the person you would interact with the most and if can't understand him it'll be tough at work.

But again, if you really prepared and think you could do really well in the interview if you understood question, tell him to give you another interview.

Goodluck!

Is Deeko an ex-one-of-us from company X?

 

[KK]

You should have asked him what the hell does it matter if you know what flavor slurpees come in.
