An interesting observation

Went for another interview this morning. Its chaired by the Executive Director and 2 other personnel, which seems more formal. I think I "performed" much better than the first interview. The questions they asked are not really that easy, and they keep emphasising on excellent spoken and written english which I think I do not possess. But I am very glad and happy at the way I answered their questions. It showed something : I can think during interviews.
I saw 2 girls over there who are applying for the same job as me. One was an E-lang & E-Lit graduate. She seems to fit the bill of having excellent communication skills. The other one was a gentle, sweet-looking gal. Do looks matter when applying for jobs? I think so, to some extent.
I was asked one particular question which struck me deeply. He asked me why I did not apply for a job in a bank, given that I major in economics, and choose something which is related to social work (I didnt prepare at all for this question). I answered that I no doubt like working in a bank, but I prefer the experience of interacting with the heartlanders and people of all level rather than solely with corporations and institutions. Furthermore, I would like to do my part for the society (its true!) and this job provides me with the opportunity to do so. (Then why on earth did I choose to major in Econs than in Social Work??)
Another thing was that I told him that I rate my English as 'good', not 'excellent'. This might prove to be a real disadvantage. Imagine my horror when I heard the following statement by a graduate "I want to get something that shows that I am a graduate"....
