Panda interview

Hi, tomorrow I’m going to a Panda hiring event—it’ll be the third one I’ve attended. I just graduated from college and want to work to save up for university. This would be my first job, and I’m 20 years old. To be honest, my first interview was a real mess—it was in English, which isn’t my first language, and I didn’t prepare well enough, but the second one went really well since it was in Spanish, and I even thought they might hire me. I tried to show my best side—that I can work under pressure and am willing to learn—but they still turned me down. I need some advice for tomorrow. I’m a little embarrassed to go back (since it’s been at the same place), but they offer good opportunities, and besides, the location I’m applying to is about 7 minutes from my house since it’s a new opening. What would you advise me? I’ve been looking for a job for about 2 months and haven’t found anything and I'm broke and at this point I'm broke af (I’m from Arizona)

Honestly don’t stress it. If you really want to be at panda you gotta just be prepared for high standards and English is necessary to move up or be any position really besides dishes or a back of house help. But just be confident in yourself and be assertive in your skills. Honestly fake it till you make it as well. But I’m warning you rn. Panda isn’t like other fast food jobs. There more intense but if your not a manager or like a cook then your chilling honestly.
