[quote=Anonymous]Years ago, I got called for a job interview by a company who saw my resume on monster.com. It was for a market research job in Texas, where I lived at the time. I wasn't really interested, but the company kept pestering me to interview and trying to sell me on the job. The HR rep had me do a phone interview and then brought me in for an in-person interview. She was very focused on whether I could read words aloud in Spanish, which I could. She made me read her a page of print out loud in Spanish, and then proceeded to berate me because my accent was not authentic enough and I sounded too northern. Mind you, I am a Midwesterner who is not a native Spanish speaker, all of which she knew beforehand, not to mention she had heard my voice on the phone during the phone interview and likely knew I wasn't going to sound like a native speaker.
