Not easy to seek jobs
求职之路却并不轻松,不少应届大学生面临着各种歧视。星座、血型、颜值都成为了被拒的理由。
“It's just unfair,”sighed a graduate,who was rejected in a job interview.“Later,I found out that they prefer Gemini (双子座) and Libra (天秤座),but I'm a Leo (狮子座).I can accept failure if it's because of my bad performance and working capacity,but not for my zodiac sign.”
In fact,employment discrimination has always been a highly discussed topic.“It's common that some employers set up hidden conditions when recruiting people,such as zodiac signs and blood type,”said Liu Tong,who's been working as a human resource staff member for years.“For example,one's zodiac sign can reveal some possible features of personality,which sometimes can be used to measure whether a person will fit in well with the team or get along with the boss.”
“Blood types can also show a person's working style to some extent,”she said.According to her,people with type A blood tend to be considered more careful and cautious,while those with B are more passionate.AB blood types are more likely to be reasonable and good at logic,while those with O blood are regarded as happier and more relaxed.
“A team needs different types of people to keep a balance and create a good working atmosphere.There is no good or bad judgment as to blood type,”Liu said.“After all,each individual is different,and all this hidden information is for reference only.”
