Proceed to Test Two to get a project suited for applicant

1 Answers

This is their reply: “ Dear xx, Your test two was not well done. In which despite your good result in test one, i will have to fail you. Because we have to take the lesser of the result. The flow was good at times but also bad at times. Can I ask the reason? Like are you less good with chinese? Or you are not used to sophisticated style of writing? Just the conversational? Because we do have different projects. Thanks for the time.” Dear PIC, your email itself was full of errors, without clear explanation of which area I failed in. When I whatsapp for immediate response, the PIC took such a delayed response to note where my mistakes are and just categorise each translation with “good flow/bad translation”. Less
