#FIFAWorldCup2026
It took me 5 months and about 25 interviews to land my first job in Canada 🇨🇦
But there is one I will never forget.
I applied for a Canadian government role.
French was listed as a requirement. I applied anyway. Got through the first stage. No French was tested.
Second and final stage. I joined the call. Bonjour bonjour. (As how?)
I thought that was just the greeting.
The interviewer then calmly informed me that the entire interview would be conducted in French.
I could feel my intestines shift.
I said okay. A certified Duolingo dropout sitting in silence.
The first question came. 45 seconds of full Québécois French.
I waited for them to finish. Then I slowly asked if they could repeat the question in English.
They did. Politely.
I answered.
Then they asked if I had any questions for them.
That was it. Interview over.
I never got a rejection email. Not one. They were too pissed to even send it 😭
What is your craziest job interview moment in diaspora or back home?
