Bilingual should actually mean bilingual

A lot of jobs out there require or prefer bilingual employees, but the job description never mentions that they specifically want Spanish. So when you fill out the application, or attend the interview you’re rejected because your second language is Creole, French, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Zulu, etc. They either need to be clearer about what they want, or be open to hiring different ethnicities. Bilingual doesn’t mean “also speaks Spanish”, bilingual means bilingual in for any language.
