Oh, then what do I do? There shouldn't be any problem. My last company got my work permit just fine.
我问过了，是工作内容和你的专业问题。你大学的专业是语言文学，上份工作是翻译没问题。但是这次你来是做市场部助理。

I asked. It's a problem with the job description and your major. Your university major was in linguistics. Your last job was as a translator so that's fine. However, this time you want to work as a Marketing Assistant.
这有什么关系？公司觉得我合格就行啦。
zhè yǒu shénme guānxì ？gōngsī juéde wǒ hégé jiù xíng la 。
What does that have to do anything? The company thinks that I'm qualified for the job. That should be enough.
