"Applicants Find English Interview Dreadful."

I'll bet the interviewers feel the same way. From an article in the Korea Times last night about that.
According to job portal saramin.co.kr, 34 percent of 1,372 job seekers cited English interviews as the most difficult part of their application. Nowadays, the recruitment process for big companies starts with background and academic achievement reviews, then moves to aptitude tests and finally ends with intensive interviews composed of presentations and conversations with native speakers.

You know I can't do a post with the word "interview" without showing this video, which captures what I imagine most English interviews in Korea must be like.

HAHAHAHAHAHA That video is brilliant! It's a subtle humour only "Native" English teachers in Korea would get :P

This is just to painful and hilarious at the same time. Damn you, I used to be a big fan of her! Now I don't know how I should feel about her...
