Ganito po ba talaga sa interview? yung trying hard mag interview in English ang HR? hindi rin po ba allowed na sumagot in our own language? may time na nag karoon ako ng interview at english ang gamit ng HR to the point na napapansin ko na yung grammar niya at dinadala nalang sa accent yung mga tanong nya.

Sorry to hear about this experience.
On your next interview, check the company culture muna or if MNC sila, then you need to respond in English too since there's a possibility that you will speak or work with your international counterparts and leaders . Good practice for you too. The HR or interviewer perhaps is trying their best too :)

sumagot ako ng tagalog, pinutol niya yung pag sagot ko at sinabing speak in english, bigla akong na blanko na at nabubulol na since im not used to talk in english but i can definitely understand english, HR please be kind, we are trying our best...

Sakto! Dapat open din sila sa iba’t ibang language lalo na kung relevant sa trabaho. Ang importante naman kasi, naipapakita mo yung skills mo, di yung perfect English.

Minsan nakaka-pressure yung ganun, feeling mo kailangan perfect English pero hindi naman talaga yun ang basehan ng trabaho. Sana mas fair ang approach nila.

Nakakatuwa nga minsan yung interviewers, parang sila pa yung masyadong try-hard mag English pero medyo nakakahiya rin. Dapat comfortable din tayo na gumamit ng sariling wika lalo na kung mas expressive tayo

Tama ka, hindi naman dapat exclusive ang English sa interview lalo na kung kaya naman gumamit ng local language para mas malinaw ang communication.

Minsan nga napapansin ko rin yung mga ganun, na masyadong ginagawang formal yung English interview kahit na pwedeng mas natural sana kung Tagalog o local language.

Hindi naman masama mag English sa interview pero sana balance lang. Hindi dapat pinipilit na perfect grammar kung mas importante yung content ng sagot.
