Today, I went to an important job interview. I was really anxious but tried to soldier on anyway. When I was called in, my nerves got so bad that I reverted to speaking my second language. Not first, second. I'm pretty sure I'm not getting the job. FML

Being trilingual, this happens to me quite often. Mainly speaking French in English class. Speaking my third language in my second language class? Logic. :)

Pretty sure being bilingual is a positive thing in most job interviews.

Just apologise and explain to them that you speak two different languages?

Ha! Sounds like you're an interpreter for the military, probably Arabic is your second language?

No. For someone in the military you should know to pay attention to detail. OP is from Japan, making his first language Japanese. He posted this in English... You see where I'm going with this?!
