My job interview Today I had an interview, I wanted to find a job as an English teacher at a cram school. I can't teach at regular schools because I didn't enter for "Teachers' Certificate examinations"before, so without certificate, I can only teach at cram schools, you know, cram schools are prevailing in mainland China because almost every parent wants their babies to be NO.1 academically. School grades are everything for kids in China. Well, this afternoon, I stepped into their office and a beautiful young lady received me, and she asked questions about my basic info, and then she asked me,"Mr. Wang, are you able to teach Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Biology?", and I thought to myself, "What? Aren't I applying for English teacher here, why on earth do I have to be an 'almighty' god? I'm not a prodigy!", so I replied, "Sorry, ma'am, I can't, but I can learn now!!". A questionable expression soon crawled on her face and then spreaded all over it, "Were you good at these subjects when you were a middle school student?", she asked again, "Absolutely no, I'm proficient in languages and I stunk at them, but I'm good at learning, I learn really fast." I replied confirmly. "Allow me to think about this, okay? I'll call you later.". Well, that was quite an interview.
