The Hardest Choice Some weeks ago I had a job interview at a well known company. The job offer didn't say that speaking English fluently was one of the main requirements for the position. So, it was a big surprise to me when I was told that the interview was going to be conducted in English, just five minutes before the interview. I didn't do well on the interview, and I think I said a lot of nonsense and felt really stupid. However, I noticed something. Employers seem not to care whether you really speak English fluently or not. They just care about your certificates. The interview was in group, and there was a girl who spoke all the time about her trip to Ireland to study English. Basically, she replied to almost each question by telling about her experience in Ireland. Even though, to be honest her English was not great, but the interviewers seemed to be very interested in listening to her stories. Obviously, I didn't get the job. I have a friend who works for that company. I asked him to know who got the position, and he told that the girl who lived in Ireland got it and started to work four days later. So, I realized that I need to do something if I want to get a good job. That's why I arrived at the conclusion I have to study in an English speaking country and get a certificate from an English school in an English speaking country. Even if I still don't speak any English, employers are always impressed by those certificates. I didn't want to get in debt to banks, but it seems like this is something I have to do if I want to get a well paid job. The amount of money scares me, because it's nearly the amount of money needed to buy a high-end car. Hopefully, I will be able to recover the investment and pay off the loan once I go back to Colombia.

An interesting experience. This girl was able to be interesting in the interview as she had a different experience. Also, an interviewer would also think the girl is proactive, able to connect better with people and easier to work with. She has more exposure to a different culture. Given two or more candidates who have roughly equal skills and qualifications, it will be the one who seems more sociable and easier to talk to that will get the job. Good luck with the next interview.
