I had a really unpleasant experience interviewing with Language International and think that they have a lot of nerve (and not in a good way). I initially had a phone interview that lasted 30 minutes which consisted of a discussion about my previous work and volunteer experiences. After this, I was invited to come into the office to interview, which I was looking forward to until I saw what I had to do to prepare for it. I was required to take 5 or 6 skill quizzes on Smarterer in math, excel, customer service, etc. I did not really mind this part, but they then proceeded to send me a whole Google Docs file that seemed like the Admissions Coordinator Bible as it had everything anyone ever would need to know as the Admissions Coordinator. I was required to read all of the information and take a quiz at the end of each section, which took a lot more time than you would think. I went in the next day for a two hour interview simulation and math test. The math test was unnecessary and the manager who administered it came off as pretty condescending. I graduated with top honors in college and struggled with this test simply because I hadn't done multiplication with huge numbers without a calculator since middle school. After making me feel like an idiot for 30 minutes too long, they asked me to respond to emails to get an idea of what I would be doing if I was hired. They then proceeded to judge every little word that I used and criticized everything as if I should have known what I was doing after 5 minutes on the job. I've been on "working interviews" before and I've gotten paid for every single one. Not only was this unpaid, but I found it to be extremely unprofessional and ridiculous judging by the amount of time I had to put into it. Needless to say, I couldn't have been happier to get out of there and never would have accepted the job even if they offered it to me.

I found Language International ad online and sent my resume. One hour phone interview with the owner went well, and they proceed with face-to-face interview same week. In a couple of days, after meeting both owners, one of the employees contacted me with the news that I was hired. She asked me to come next day. When I arrived she basically asked me to start working with NO OFFER made. Management was “out of the office”, and for the whole week no one bothered to talk to me about my rate and working schedule. I wasn’t impressed with their “office” either: manager's computers were placed on a pile of books, some old broken furniture was piled in the back of the "office". I wouldn’t recommend working in this company.
