Huzzah! Interview Finally. :)

[Jimmy Bones]

Finally got an interview yesterday after a year of unemployment and close to four months without a callback.

Hopefully I get the job, it's an administrative job for a bottled water company that requires travel to China a few times a year and pays salary that breaks out to roughly $25/hour.

Was interviewed by a head hunter who was so impressed with me she said that even if I don't get this job, she'd damn sure find me another.

Thats awesome to hear. Congrats and best of luck getting the job!

Nice. China's cool too. They are one of the originators of the sexy asian chick.

Conga-rats! Good luck.

 

[tplyons]

Congrats, glad to hear!

On the topic of China, anybody have any examples of contracts written in Mandarin? I need to brush up on my Chinese in general (they want me because of my translation experience), but certain contractual terms and scientific jargon in specific.

Or if anybody knows where I can find me a Waimao Cidian (外贸词&#20856, let me know?

Danke.

Huzzah???? Don't you mean hoooowa? As in "I play metal" hoooowa!!!

 

[Jimmy Bones]

I don't Hoowa like him, or Hoyea like Peggy Hill. I ocassionally Hoorah like I did in the Navy, or Hooah for my soldier brother.

Generally, though, it's Huzzah, Yay, or Yarr.

Hooray for that!

Huzzah again, I passed the first interview with the headhunter, and have an interview with the CFO on Friday.

I have to translate a bunch of old contracts from Chinese to English beforehand, but the word is, it's between me and a Chinese American girl, and the company would rather have a white guy to act as the guy "who most likely doesn't speak Chinese" in order to be the honesty gauge in contract negotiations.

I'm so excited, they're s'posed to be making the decision Friday afternoon.

Wish me luck!

Okay - the very best of luck, wished to you all the way across the Atlantic.

.....the company would rather have a white guy to act as the guy "who most likely doesn't speak Chinese" in order to be the honesty gauge in contract negotiations.

Just in case the Chinese American girl is dishonest and negotiates for the interests of the Chinese company instead of the one employing her?
