Job result #2

So the title "Assistant" is very nice sounding but it's ultimately office lady work. I don't have to fetch tea and stuff, but I will doing a lot of document creating and communing work with American vendors. GE Money has an IT devision in the same office. So I will be helping them in that department. There are 2 translators in the office. One for writing and one for speaking. She said they would probably ask me for help when they are out of town or unavailable. Also, there are 2 foreigners working in the office. They both understand Japanese but cannot communicate in Japanese. So, they said I might be helping them too.
The impression I got from the job interview is that I will be kind of a person who will be asked to do a lot of different tasks. If I don't understand I can ask, but mainly I will be on my own trying to solve problems and deal with problems as it is given to me.
I'm also in a position of give advices to my boss about what works and what doesn't work within my work. Apparently they are going through some changes within the company devisions (loans, credit cards and other financial department), so any new ideas to work efficiently and productively would be welcomed.

Didn't get the job. They said they wanted with someone with more Filemaker experience.
I never used FileMaker but I assumed it's not that hard to learn since I've use LOTS of software during my student life as digital artist.
Have anyone used it before?
Is it really that hard?


Applied for three more jobs today.
