Mei Guan Xi（没关系）

I’ve had my share of interviews in the US and China, but I’ve come to the conclusion that in China political correctness goes out the window….

I’ve mentioned before that often companies will request a photo along with the resume, but here is a sampling of the ridiculous questions I’ve been asked in an interview:

• How old are you? (older = more experience)
• Are you married? Are you single? Do you have a girlfriend? (an indication of how hard I’d be able to work)
• Where are you from? (for the purpose of knowing what ethnicity I am)
• What’s your sign? (the interviewer wanted to know my ‘personality’)

yeah…uhm…all very relevant to my competence on the job of course!
