A famous foreign company in China wanted a Clerk for its public relation department (公关部).

A beautiful girl with a master’s degree(硕士学位) went through a lot of challenges and her name was on the list. In the final stage she faced an interview together—with another girl. Both of them were outstanding, not only in looks but also in education.

The girl was successful in the interview. It seemed that she would get the chance. At last the examiner asked her, “Can you come to the office next Monday?” Shocked by the unexpected question, the beautiful girl couldn’t make a decision at the moment, so she said, “I have to talk with my parents before I give an answer.” The examiner felt surprised but said calmly, “If so, let’s wait till you are ready.”

The next day, the girl came to tell the examiner that her parents had agreed to let her begin work next Monday. But the examiner said regretfully (遗憾地), “Sorry, another suitable candidate (选手)has got the job. You had better try another place.” The beautiful girl was surprised.
