Chinese student fails job interview because of iPhone

[FarCenter]

The interviewer apparently explained the rather harsh decision as follows:

"Students who have iPhones don’t work. Everything you have was bought by your parents. You haven’t bought anything by working yourself. You are wealthy and can’t stand the stress. Working at our company is tough. It calls for someone who can take the pain and suffering."

Apparently Gao’s phone was indeed bought by his parents, although he pleaded that the device was not intended as an ostentatious show of wealth.

2. Yeah, because nothing says "I don't want to work" like showing up for a job interview...

Bastard...

3. Job interviewer's are the shallowest thinkers in the world

I would compare them to monkeys, but I don't want to insult the monkeys.
