I was actually told that I was hired by a particular company and that my position was located in the same city as my home. In the interview they explained that they hired me for the same job I had in my home country (Spain) and that they did not want me to move my job because of my job. I was told that they were only hiring people that were fluent in spanish and that I would be paid the same as I did it in Mexico.
I don’t know if that’s true or not. Maybe it’s just the way the interviewers worded it. But in any case, that’s all I can think of for now.
The first thing that caught my eye about this company was the size of the office. I have a feeling it was not the size of the office that mattered, but the fact that it was a large office. The same office I had in Mexico, but I suppose I would not know that since I live in a house that is not a home.
In Mexico, my experience was similar to yours. It was also in Mexico that I first worked for the company and the office was the same one. The only difference was that I was hired as a receptionist and the office was a very small one. My impression of the office was that it was very quiet and that it was very clean. In Mexico, I also had a coworker that told me that they hired him from the company.
I have a friend that got the job in Mexico and then was later fired because he could not speak Spanish. Apparently in Mexico, the company had just started hiring people and he was one of many that got hired.
In other words, the company that hired him was starting out with a smaller office and then expanded its offices, which is what happened to my friend. In Mexico, I think I heard that they hire people based on ability but I’m not sure if that’s true in the U.S. I do know that the office that hired the Spanish speaking employee was very small and that the Spanish speaking employee was very pretty and smart.
My friend was hired on the spot and had to call his boss and tell him his resume. After that the company called up the job posting and filled it.
And then, the company put the Spanish speaking employee to work in the English speaking office. My friend wanted to give that impression that the only language he spoke was English, but I think he was probably lying. The company was also very large, so his boss was not sure whether he was a very good fit for the office.
The Spanish speaking employee took his place, and that was it. No one else had to speak Spanish in the office, and even the other employees were told to keep their language to themselves. My friend never even got a chance to tell his boss that he’d been hired, and was only told that his new team member had been hired as a result of the post they’d found on the company intranet.
This is the first time I’ve ever seen the company intranet, and I wasn’t even aware it existed. It’s probably the most under-appreciated thing on the intranet. It’s a place where employees give each other updates, updates that tell the whole company about themselves and how things are going.
