i am now looking for a new job and since I have some other plan this june, i decided to look for a part time job instead of a full time one. hence my target job is either an online english tutorial or a one-on-one, in-person tutorial.
i've been to a language learning center in alabang this morning to try my luck on their part time tutor opening. so i took their exam, and afterwards i was interviewed. everything went smoothly. unfortunately, the interviewer told me constructively that i got low score on the grammar exam, 45 out of 55 (personally, i do think the score is not that bad). but that seemed to be a non issue. after all, there are still other things to teach such as vocabulary and reading among others. then i was asked to tell something about myself and i happened to mention that i have one SIBLING. notice the context to which i used the term. then the interviewer corrected me right away, saying that i should have used BROTHER or SISTER instead of SIBLING because the latter term refers to one's child. i think i snapped right in that very instant but i instantly remembered it's a job interview. if i had totally flared up, i must have yelled at her to raise my point like i always do. gad! sure i admit my vocabulary had always been lousy sometimes and i keep on forgetting how to use my prepositions, but to tell me i incorrectly used the word sibling is downright insulting! tell me, do i have a reason to even think of whacking her hard in the head? sure i do!
oh well i won't waste my energy over some know-it-all-just, pseudo pro-english speaker. after all, their initial salary offer is BEYOND insulting.
