@Zwodder i think what she was trying to mimic was finger spelling. We did it in my ASL class to sign our names and words we didn’t know the actual signs for to ask our professor what the actual signs for them were. My professor could finger spell really quickly, but he’s been deaf since birth so I can imagine he’s had practice. If you actually slow down the portion where it looks like she was finger spelling, you can see that she didn’t sign any letters at all.

As a South African I vividly remember when we had a fake sign language interpreter at Nelson Mandela's memorial service. All he could sign was "Hello. How are you?"
Well that sucked, when the language sign interpreter, fakes his job and can only do "hello. How are you. It's would've been some one else who's very good at sign language
@@ananasbanana not entirely just hello but that made up a large portion of what they where saying. there was also the gibberish hands thing and also some unrelated signs like time and smoking from what i remember anyways
I'll also add for the second case that simply knowing ASL doesn't mean you're qualified to interpret. There's a whole other level to it as you have to taken in a language, go over it in your head very quickly, and output it while also still taking in the other language. There's a lot of work involved in making sure you are paying attention to both what you hear/see and what you are signing/saying. It's all simultaneous. So him knowing ASL does not mean he would've been comfortable interpreting even in a less important situation. Also this is just a byproduct of places like Florida having little to no quality control. Some states have levels of testing you have to do in order to even apply to interpret at certain events, especially for legal and government-based ones.
Exactly. I'm fluent in Japanese, have previously worked four years in a Japanese-only engineering environment, am currently doing grad school in Japan, but I can *not* do simultaneous interpretation. I don't know how anyone does it - it's like witchcraft.
I feel bad for Marshal. I’m bilingual and I took up a translator job and it absolutely kicked my ass. I spoke fluently but that’s just daily conversation. Formal business language was a whole different story. Saying “I’m fluent in ___” means two completely different things depending on if you’re telling a friend, or informing your workplace
Also dialects. You can be fluent in a language but if you've never heard of a certain dialect or accent, it may as well be a different language altogether.
To both of you, that's big real. I am building my resume now that I graduated in the biomed engineering field. I also know Spanish.

I live on the border, have a great friend of mine who works at the same call center with me and while I hear her speak Spanish pretty regularly, there is no way she could speak Spanish well enough to be a bilingual agent. Sometimes it doesn’t matter if you can speak a different language or in this case sign one. Sometimes you just can’t keep up with the rate they are asking you to do a task in
Yes, I’ve noticed that translating is harder than just speaking a language too. I can understand a sentence in my 2nd language, but I’ll sometimes struggle to find the right words in my native language because there’s not an exact translation.
Same. For a brief shining moment I thought that District 8 Hospital Worker had survived the Capital bombing after all, and after saving his reality (behind the scenes of course) he intuited that our reality is in dire straits and was now here to save us. But alas, twas not to be 😢
Respect to the man who made the mistake of hiring that lady. He didn't try to deflect blame, he didn't act like she was this incredible con-woman who could deceive the entire FBI or something... No, he owned up to it, took it like a man, and was honest about his mistake to the world. This is a man who should keep his job because I guarantee he's learned from this experience and will be an even better and more thorough employee in the future. He really showed us his character! I'd rather have an honest man who makes a few mistakes every now and then working for me as opposed to a selfish narcissist who doesn't make mistakes but is a complete jerk and thinks they're perfect.
The guy who hired her seems like a genuinely well - meaning guy who was just reckless and made a big mistake. Hopefully he doesn't lose a lot from this.
It doesn’t even seem like that big of a mistake, they weren’t gonna have an interpreter in the first place from what it looks like and the absurdity of that woman’s plan means it was very easy to look a gift horse in the mouth, plus he seemed to very responsibly own up to his mistake at the end
lol. This could have been avoided if they had someone who already knew sign language around when they hired her. A: Okay, we need someone who knows sign language. Can you demonstrate? B: *flails their hands around* A: You're hired!
@@lawrencelopez9839 well to be fair, most people don’t know sign language and look at it from their perspective, they really needed anyone who knew sign language for an emergency and suddenly, a woman volunteers. They would have very little reason not to take her in because who would lie about it? Unfortunately for them, the woman had that dawg in her and trolled the entire department.
@@lawrencelopez9839normal people wouldn’t lie about that😭 someone comes in and says “if you need an interpreter I can do it” the first thing you think isn’t “she’s lying, she doesn’t know” And he admitted he didn’t have a trained eye, she could’ve known one phrase in sign language and used that, considering she did sign a few things right
I feel pretty bad for the guy that was forced to do the signing for the evacuation, can't imagine how scary and nerve-wracking it would have been to be put in a situation where you were asked to say things you didn't know how to say. I speak a second language pretty well conversationally, but if I was asked to describe in detail the state of the economy (or some other complicated topic) in that language I wouldn't be able to, so I really sympathize with this guy's situation.
Not only was his job stressful when not having enough information, his job in this case was purposed to potentially save lives. That's the scariest part.
I gave him so much shit when we evacuated because I have a deaf godmother and I was furious. Turns out she had moved to tennessee from tampa three months before so she wasn’t watching the FL news. I still think he should have refused to show up on tv if he didn’t know shit but I will stop mocking him on-sight.
@@thaloblue Hate to say it, but this is why you should learn both sides of the story before outright shitting on someone. Otherwise you end up looking like a twitter cop who rages at everyone and tries to cancel them over things they don't understand. I do feel your pain, don't get me wrong. I'd also be pissed if I had a deaf grandmother who needed to evacuate a hurricane-bound area. However, closed-captioning does exist for most news channels. You should be mad at the people who forced him to be there. He was probably more scared of something else if he were to not show up. Think before you judge.
Can we just taka a moment to appreciate the honesty that that conference dude had when they asked him how she got to translating there? He just owned up to it saying he messed up and took it like a real champ. Huge kudos to him for carrying those massive balls of steel around, because God knows that we don't have enough people that are that honest these days
The savage-ness of walking into a office uninvited to freely volunteer to be a interpreter for absolutely nothing in return and absolutely have no idea what she’s doing is the most Hilarious part of it all!
You know that lady trolling the police department for free committed no crime doing it, but god damn it was hilarious and somewhat respectable of the police to just own up to that like "yeah we're idiots, none of us know sign-language to even verify, we made an S-rank blunder."
@@moneygrabber6720 no they just took it at face value, I mean why would they think someone would just turn up, and offer a service for free and be conning them 😂. If she asked for payment fine I get it perhaps run a quick check, but the insentive here was purely to troll. I love that the guy felt the need to say 'we won't be using this woman again'.
It is honestly refreshing to on the one hand see a prankster do something that isn't just dumbly harassing or straight up assaulting people and on the other hand see the responsible police officer have a reaction this mature. This video restored a small part of my belief in modern society as a whole.
I love the guy who hired her. It's not "she was super cunning and charismatic, she was a super trickster." Instead, it's "yeah I just didn't know sign language, my bad"
as someone who has barely started to learn sign language she actually looks legit. She’s actually signed a decent amount of real words. Anything else not recognized I would have assumed I just didn’t know enough sign yet. So she clearly has spent time studying the language. So she should have known she wasn’t ready to do this yet. Like the second guy, he knew he didn’t know enough to do it.
@@richardcarter8751 look it up lol. When segregation was a thing black ppl couldnt learn normal asl in school so they had to teach it themselves and there were some differences between them but not too many Its considered a dialect of regular asl

What's crazy is that if you know ASL you can tell she's taken at least one class, and I guess she decided that was good enough because the only signs she knew were ones you would learn as a beginner
@@annetheelf8174 looking up random words you wanna know in a different language is different than taking a beginners class and learning words. I'm currently learning a new language (though very slowly hahaha) and i definitely haven't seen kill or murder in my workbook 🤣🤣
The major problem with the “fake it ‘til you make it” mentality is that most people with the mentality never develop the skills they claim to have once they obtain the jobs. If you are going to lie to get a job, then develop the skills you lied about in order to do the job competently.
Gonna be completely honest with you, most jobs could be done by anyone, including teenagers in high school. No matter the experience or qualifications, anyone is capable of learning a job but not many places are willing to teach anything. So you get a bunch of people faking it til they make it while no company provides them the necessary training to gain those skills. There’s definitely some fault of the workers faking it, but companies need to do better as well
@@prodigy6926 I mean... you can't fake a profession lol. If you have some general knowledge about a profession then it's possible to lie your way up the ladder, if you're a quick learner. But you cannot fake your way into NASA and expect to do a good job. There are a lot of doctors who, I'm like 90% sure, cheated their way through college and lied their way into a job. Like the amount of doctors who still don't understand periods ASTOUNDS me. So in terms of quantity, then I THINK most jobs could be faked (if we're talking fast food, retail, any kind of service tbh). But if you're talking about the diversity of jobs, then no, most cannot be faked. There are so many professions out there that require a lot of knowledge and experience, and if you're not at least good enough to learn and apply other knowledge on the job, then you could end up causing a lot of harm, as well as ensuring you'll never get hired by anyone but McDonald's.
Yeah, I would add that all you really do is learn how to keep lying for as long as possible while also not developing actual skills, because that's all you really spend your time on. What you water grows, as they say.
@firstname lastname well said. A major issue with doctors is that many don't update their knowledge properly and are operating off knowledge from the freaking 60's. It's rampant for drugs (prescription and recreational), and pretty bad for mental health. I don't know if periods were a mystery to the medical community decades ago, though
The absolute BEST was the guy who faked being a doctor and was put in charge of several patients at a clinic near me in Florida. He was a week away from securing a super high paying job in another state but he got too greedy and got caught before he left.
Fun Fact: For On Her Majesty's Secret Service, George Lazenby suggested a scene where Bond skis off a cliff and opens a parachute. This was scrapped, as the filmmakers lacked the resources to pull it of, but it was later used as the opening for The Spy Who Loved Me.
The best part is they can't even really charge her for anything since she didn't even get paid. Its almost like people pretending to be sign language interpreter is some kind of competition now.
My mom was a sign language interpreter for years. And there’s levels of interpreters depending on the kind of speech being used. The ones interpreting for doctors and lawyers are on a whole other level compared to ones translating everyday speech.
My mom reads Braille and you’d be shocked how many times she points to something written in Braille in public and it’s either complete nonsense, filled with typos, or dangerously wrong (we were once in an airport that had the “men” and “women”s signs reversed in the Braille translation)
No matter how goofy this story is, the best thing about it is how someone in a (relative) position of power actually straight up said "yeah its my fault" That just doesnt happen too often
That story about George Lazenby lying his way into getting the Bond film wasn't entirely true by the way: Lazenby was offered a chance to audition for the part after meeting producer Albert R. Broccoli while they were both getting haircuts. While Lazenby did have a fake resume of acting experience that he showed to the Bond producer Harry Saltzman, Lazenby immediately admitted that it was fake during the meeting - before getting the part. On Her Majesty's Secret Service is one of my personal favorite Bond films too.
Keeping it Bond related: Lazenby is that case when you go to the casino, go to the roulette and put everything in red and win. Then you double down and win again. Your friends tell you to go home now but you bet all the money a third time and the ball now falls in black, so you lose everything. He had the opportunity of a lifetime being James Bond with very little previous experience, made a good movie, but then got too greedy and full of himself, making it all go to waste. Every other Bond actor had a previous or future career in acting, but not Lazenby.
“I just didn’t ask enough questions” - I really admire the accountability of the guy who hired her. Nowadays it would be some nonsense insincere press release like “Our department is disappointed at the mistake that was made, and we’re working out any areas in which we can improve to prevent this from happening again in the future”.
A lot of the comments say, “Fake it until you make it.” I get that logic but some of the best jobs I have ever had were when I was transparent in the interview and said, “I don’t know how to do that specifically but I want the position to learn how.” My favorite job to date was that. I was attempting to change careers and had some overlapping experience as an intake specialist in regards to paperwork but at the time no clinical experience. It was at the peak of the pandemic, so medical staff was necessary. But I said, “I need training on that.” Anything I didn’t get I owned up to immediately and got more support. By the end of my time there I was training new staff and was able to get the S.O.P. on paper for them AND had an entire new skill set/trade. My new position runs different diagnostic test then what I’m experienced in and I was honest in the interview and let them know I was inexperienced in those things and that I was going to need training before I was on my own. I started as a Community Health Aide and I am now a Certified Community Health Worker II and have given community health presentations to audiences that have consisted of political aids, my respected peers and colleagues, I even did a free health series at a college. Boomers have the working style of never admitting to mistakes and acknowledging you didn’t know something, so fake it till you make it is a relic of that Protestant work ethic. Admitting to your deficiencies, asking permission to mistakes because you are learning come from a growth mindset model that’s actually more healthy and leads to more success. This lady was just scamming to scam, I don’t think she wants to be an ASL interpreter, I think she just got bored and wanted to start drama. I don’t think there was anything genuine in her intent.
I know I’m late, but this was really helpful for me rn where I’m at in my life. Thanks for taking the time to type this comment and share your experience.
Learning ASL is very rewarding, if you work in a service job. you wont use it often, but on the odd occasion you need it, it really goes that extra mile to make someone's day. Just knowing the basics is huge. I went out of my way to learn conversation basics, and how to fingerspell so i can at the very least, hold a slow conversation if i dont know the words.
Is that what it's called? Fingerspelling? I memorized all the ABC's out of a picture in the dictionary when I was a kid, and it's crazy I can still remember all the letters except for f, g, p, and q. And I know I'm doing it right because I have carried on a few very slow conversations with some hearing impairment people over the years.
ASL interpreters go through so much training to be able to hear english and translate it into ASL’s completely different grammar structure. The fact that they expected a random guy to be able to do that is insane
In France, there was a guy who acted as the director of Limoge's airport (a french city) for a few months. He had zero qualifications to do so and actually did a pretty good job. People realised he wasn't who he pretended to as he was arrested for one of his previous frauds
The weirdest part is half of ASL is your facial expressions because it helps convey the emotion. The way she was signing made it seem like a casual conversation but attempting to talk about a major investigation. Wild
My wife's step mothers father faked his entire lifes career. Several. He was actually pretty in the news when he got caught. He was a teacher, a psychologist, a chemical engineer etc. He would have to pack up and leave town, create a new identity etc. Ruined his kids childhood but he banked. He easily could have actually been any of his careers but chose to just find the highest paying job around and take it. Genius.
I thought of William Douglas Street, Jr. He faked being "professional reporters, lawyers, athletes, extortionists, and surgeons, going so far as to perform more than 36 successful hysterectomies." HE had ZERO credentials. He's still in prison, and he would have probably gone on to be very successful if he just went to school seriously instead.
2nd sign language translator is actually the equivalent of someone saying you're funny, then you get asked a joke or something randomly on the spot lol. Poor guy
I remember learning about a guy who faked his way into an airline pilot position, and was finally found out when someone he was flying with decided to make him land the plane and the guy just nosedived twice and almost killed them. This was a really long time ago though
1:40 Irony is: she didn't even get *_that_* right. Numbers and letters are *_specifically_* palm-out _(edit: with a few slight exceptions where it's palm-sideways or down; but the thumb remains visible)._ This is because the placement of the thumb is very important in hand-only signs; especially so you can distinguish between characters like 6 and W. Source: I learned ASL when I was a kid due to family.
i'm not fluent in sign language by any means but one thing to check for when someone is faking sign language is how they sign the number three. in asl at least the number three is thumb, index, and middle finger whereas a lot of people assume it's index, middle, and ring
I just wanna say im grateful your channel exists. Because not only do you tell really great stories and shed light on things we need to know but you also speak up when you think someone is falsely accused like that poor man that was pressured into sign language. Keep it up 😊
As someone who has a career in direct care with deaf and heard of hearing individuals but who has a functional sign level of a 10 year old, for people who really know ASL, deaf people especially, it’s instantly recognisable when someone doesn’t know what they’re doing. I am lucky that the children I work with are so patient (and their actual interpreters are just as kind) because the deaf community is fucking brutal, understandably so, to outsiders who try to waltz around like being deaf or knowing how to communicate with the deaf is a cute quirk.
2:12 "I've got to the admite the 'fake until you make it' attitude here, but unfortunately the only thing to make was a fool of herself" I love Charlie's way with words (I wonder if that's scripted or if he's just a natural wordsmith)
My friend is a chef in a pretty nice restaurant. My dude completely bullshitted his way in and winged it. He just luckily started small and now he does it better than most of the people there. He mainly tried his absolute hardest, because they paid him really well. You know, since he was actually a professional chef with a couple years of experience.
Kitchens are notorious for that, I know because I did it too lol a lot of times you can't get your foot in the door unless you flat out lie your ass off :/ I've been a chef for 20+ yrs but thanks to nepotism / hr recruitment practices/ age discrimination you almost HAVE to lie just to get an interview anywhere.
I had a boss at my old job that straight up faked it to get the job. He didnt know anything going on and then later told me hes never done a job like it before. They wanted to hire someone outside the company instead of promoting and thats what they got.
Sign language interpreter fraud happens all the time! It's so disgusting but many states don't have any regulation over interpreters certifications, and most businesses in these states will just take the person's word that they know sign language. Some states have regulation but not many have rigorous certification courses such as Michigan
Shoutout to Lazenby in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service for being a really good actor for a first timer. His eulogy at the end when his wife dies is really heartbreaking.
The South African sign language interpreter who didn't understand sign language was excellent. He managed to attempt to translate multiple different languages as well. Top class.
I recently embellished my work experience a bit to be eligible for a job. I didn’t lie at all, just worded my actual experience sound a bit more impressive than it actually was. However, this is for a writing job. I know English and am a competent writer. I literally can’t imagine lying on a resume to get a job that you have no idea how to do. I would be throwing up from anxiety. I almost admire the chutzpah.
I've known of a very successful man who created a job title, convinced the company he was applying for that they needed him, and ended up working there for many years. Success is 90% confidence I swear
It’s like a trick I learned in construction. Dress clean, have a white hard hat with a clip board, and you can basically park anywhere you want. Especially at real pain in the ass places like airports.
8:55 you can tell the newscaster holding in laughter that his mom came to his defense for signing words like "pizza" and "monsters" as if he was a 5 year old.
im currently taking asl 1 for my freshman language credit lol, and the part about the vocabulary for hurricanes being very different than everyday signs is 100% true and a really valid point. i feel horrible for the dude tho. he didnt even wanna do it ffs!
"I don't know why she would do this other than having fun with it" Most likely she was hoping to spin it off into some kind of money making scheme, and having a televised conference of her interpreting for the police she could use would give her some legitimacy in a lot of potential victims eyes. She just got caught faster than she was probably hoping.
Honestly props to the guy "I just didn't ask enough questions" he knew he fucked up and he owned it we need more of this

This is a man who should keep his job because I guarantee he's learned from this experience and will be an even better and more thorough employee in the future. He really showed us his character! I'd rather have an honest man who makes a few mistakes every now and then working for me as opposed to a selfish narcissist who doesn't make mistakes but is a complete jerk and thinks they're perfect.

The guy who hired her seems like a genuinely well - meaning guy who was just reckless and made a big mistake. Hopefully he doesn't lose a lot from this.
It doesn’t even seem like that big of a mistake, they weren’t gonna have an interpreter in the first place from what it looks like and the absurdity of that woman’s plan means it was very easy to look a gift horse in the mouth, plus he seemed to very responsibly own up to his mistake at the end

I feel pretty bad for the guy that was forced to do the signing for the evacuation, can't imagine how scary and nerve-wracking it would have been to be put in a situation where you were asked to say things you didn't know how to say. I speak a second language pretty well conversationally, but if I was asked to describe in detail the state of the economy (or some other complicated topic) in that language I wouldn't be able to, so I really sympathize with this guy's situation.
Not only was his job stressful when not having enough information, his job in this case was purposed to potentially save lives. That's the scariest part.
That was a GREAT comparison! Really makes it super clear.

I gave him so much shit when we evacuated because I have a deaf godmother and I was furious. Turns out she had moved to tennessee from tampa three months before so she wasn’t watching the FL news. I still think he should have refused to show up on tv if he didn’t know shit but I will stop mocking him on-sight.
@@thaloblue Hate to say it, but this is why you should learn both sides of the story before outright shitting on someone. Otherwise you end up looking like a twitter cop who rages at everyone and tries to cancel them over things they don't understand.
I do feel your pain, don't get me wrong. I'd also be pissed if I had a deaf grandmother who needed to evacuate a hurricane-bound area. However, closed-captioning does exist for most news channels. You should be mad at the people who forced him to be there. He was probably more scared of something else if he were to not show up.

You know that lady trolling the police department for free committed no crime doing it, but god damn it was hilarious and somewhat respectable of the police to just own up to that like "yeah we're idiots, none of us know sign-language to even verify, we made an S-rank blunder."

@@moneygrabber6720 no they just took it at face value, I mean why would they think someone would just turn up, and offer a service for free and be conning them 😂. If she asked for payment fine I get it perhaps run a quick check, but the insentive here was purely to troll.
I love that the guy felt the need to say 'we won't be using this woman again'.
@@moneygrabber6720 At this point you can't even trust a person who offers voluntary help with no benefit for them.
It is honestly refreshing to on the one hand see a prankster do something that isn't just dumbly harassing or straight up assaulting people and on the other hand see the responsible police officer have a reaction this mature.

@@moneygrabber6720It wasn’t a gift though was it? They just had no idea about sign language and went “Sure why not”
I love the guy who hired her. It's not "she was super cunning and charismatic, she was a super trickster." Instead, it's "yeah I just didn't know sign language, my bad"
as someone who has barely started to learn sign language she actually looks legit. She’s actually signed a decent amount of real words. Anything else not recognized I would have assumed I just didn’t know enough sign yet.
So she clearly has spent time studying the language. So she should have known she wasn’t ready to do this yet. Like the second guy, he knew he didn’t know enough to do it.

Pretty admirable that the guy who didn't ask enough questions admitted to his wrong doing.
The major problem with the “fake it ‘til you make it” mentality is that most people with the mentality never develop the skills they claim to have once they obtain the jobs. If you are going to lie to get a job, then develop the skills you lied about in order to do the job competently.
or if you're going to get "qualified" people should focus on acting "qualified" that's a bigger problem in my experience
Gonna be completely honest with you, most jobs could be done by anyone, including teenagers in high school. No matter the experience or qualifications, anyone is capable of learning a job but not many places are willing to teach anything. So you get a bunch of people faking it til they make it while no company provides them the necessary training to gain those skills. There’s definitely some fault of the workers faking it, but companies need to do better as well
@@prodigy6926 I mean... you can't fake a profession lol. If you have some general knowledge about a profession then it's possible to lie your way up the ladder, if you're a quick learner. But you cannot fake your way into NASA and expect to do a good job. There are a lot of doctors who, I'm like 90% sure, cheated their way through college and lied their way into a job. Like the amount of doctors who still don't understand periods ASTOUNDS me.
So in terms of quantity, then I THINK most jobs could be faked (if we're talking fast food, retail, any kind of service tbh). But if you're talking about the diversity of jobs, then no, most cannot be faked. There are so many professions out there that require a lot of knowledge and experience, and if you're not at least good enough to learn and apply other knowledge on the job, then you could end up causing a lot of harm, as well as ensuring you'll never get hired by anyone but McDonald's.
Yeah, I would add that all you really do is learn how to keep lying for as long as possible while also not developing actual skills, because that's all you really spend your time on. What you water grows, as they say.
@firstname lastname well said.
A major issue with doctors is that many don't update their knowledge properly and are operating off knowledge from the freaking 60's. It's rampant for drugs (prescription and recreational), and pretty bad for mental health. I don't know if periods were a mystery to the medical community decades ago, though

No matter how goofy this story is, the best thing about it is how someone in a (relative) position of power actually straight up said "yeah its my fault"

That story about George Lazenby lying his way into getting the Bond film wasn't entirely true by the way:
Lazenby was offered a chance to audition for the part after meeting producer Albert R. Broccoli while they were both getting haircuts. While Lazenby did have a fake resume of acting experience that he showed to the Bond producer Harry Saltzman, Lazenby immediately admitted that it was fake during the meeting - before getting the part.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service is one of my personal favorite Bond films too.
Ditto! Also one of my favorites❤
Keeping it Bond related: Lazenby is that case when you go to the casino, go to the roulette and put everything in red and win. Then you double down and win again. Your friends tell you to go home now but you bet all the money a third time and the ball now falls in black, so you lose everything.
He had the opportunity of a lifetime being James Bond with very little previous experience, made a good movie, but then got too greedy and full of himself, making it all go to waste. Every other Bond actor had a previous or future career in acting, but not Lazenby.
my favorite bond film
“I just didn’t ask enough questions” - I really admire the accountability of the guy who hired her. Nowadays it would be some nonsense insincere press release like “Our department is disappointed at the mistake that was made, and we’re working out any areas in which we can improve to prevent this from happening again in the future”.
A lot of the comments say, “Fake it until you make it.” I get that logic but some of the best jobs I have ever had were when I was transparent in the interview and said, “I don’t know how to do that specifically but I want the position to learn how.” My favorite job to date was that. I was attempting to change careers and had some overlapping experience as an intake specialist in regards to paperwork but at the time no clinical experience. It was at the peak of the pandemic, so medical staff was necessary. But I said, “I need training on that.” Anything I didn’t get I owned up to immediately and got more support. By the end of my time there I was training new staff and was able to get the S.O.P. on paper for them AND had an entire new skill set/trade.
My new position runs different diagnostic test then what I’m experienced in and I was honest in the interview and let them know I was inexperienced in those things and that I was going to need training before I was on my own.
I started as a Community Health Aide and I am now a Certified Community Health Worker II and have given community health presentations to audiences that have consisted of political aids, my respected peers and colleagues, I even did a free health series at a college.
Boomers have the working style of never admitting to mistakes and acknowledging you didn’t know something, so fake it till you make it is a relic of that Protestant work ethic. Admitting to your deficiencies, asking permission to mistakes because you are learning come from a growth mindset model that’s actually more healthy and leads to more success.
This lady was just scamming to scam, I don’t think she wants to be an ASL interpreter, I think she just got bored and wanted to start drama. I don’t think there was anything genuine in her intent.

Likewise, as the other commenter wrote, thanks for writing this out I appreciate it where I'm @ in life as well :)
Learning ASL is very rewarding, if you work in a service job. you wont use it often, but on the odd occasion you need it, it really goes that extra mile to make someone's day. Just knowing the basics is huge. I went out of my way to learn conversation basics, and how to fingerspell so i can at the very least, hold a slow conversation if i dont know the words.
Is that what it's called? Fingerspelling? I memorized all the ABC's out of a picture in the dictionary when I was a kid, and it's crazy I can still remember all the letters except for f, g, p, and q. And I know I'm doing it right because I have carried on a few very slow conversations with some hearing impairment people over the years.
ASL interpreters go through so much training to be able to hear english and translate it into ASL’s completely different grammar structure. The fact that they expected a random guy to be able to do that is insane
In France, there was a guy who acted as the director of Limoge's airport (a french city) for a few months. He had zero qualifications to do so and actually did a pretty good job. People realised he wasn't who he pretended to as he was arrested for one of his previous frauds
With that kind of effort and smarts, he could've made a great honest living. I just don't understand people like that.

The way Charlie signed the Hunger Games gesture looked like something only a true extra could have done.

As someone who has a career in direct care with deaf and heard of hearing individuals but who has a functional sign level of a 10 year old, for people who really know ASL, deaf people especially, it’s instantly recognisable when someone doesn’t know what they’re doing.
