While we’re on the subject of prepping for interviews, if you find yourself applying for a gig in China, please be advised that according to the South China Morning Post, “mainland job-seekers are increasingly required to exhibit ‘grey skills’ – binge drinking, playing mahjong and even ballroom dancing – to provide them with an edge in the market.” Several individuals took this advice to heart recently, resulting in the following scene.
Those would be the 4 men who were found passed out in Baguocheng Square earlier in the week, after they’d gone on their second round of interviews for sales jobs at an unnamed firm.
At noon, the company leader invited them for lunch. Eager to impress the boss, they competed in drinking more alcohol. In the end they were wasted. At first, they just sat on the ground chatting, but soon three of them lied down and passed out. The fourth guy leaned against a telephone pole, standing unsteadily, occasionally muttered some words out his mouth and shivered non-stop. Two of them slept while hugging each other and their backpacks. The police eventually called 120. And minutes later three men were sent to the hospital by ambulance.

Pictures or it didn’t happ…oh, never mind,
Stuff like that happens in the BofA exec suite all the time. No big deal.
And they didn’t even make it to the Minetta’s round….shame really
I’d drink myself stupid too if I were interviewing for a sales position.
Four loco, hell of a good time.
I’m not sure how or why but this undoubtedly is UBS’ fault.
…in other news, Ken Lewis is moving to China.
I see nothing wrong with doing whatever it takes to get the right job.
Looks like I have what it takes to get ahead in Mainland China.

Me Chinese, me make joke, me make pee-pee in your rum and Coke.
They said something about not wanting to get punched in the face. But it was in Chinese, so they could have been saying “I’m a closet Bitch”, I’m not really sure.
Where should I send my resume?

Fake.Taking photos of them drunk and stupid is,perhaps,part of the requirements.
It’s like New York Times.Rumor that NYT is paying locales for the interview and often locales make up stories because it’s what NYT reporters want to hear.
Bess, it’s friday, how about a caption contest post? those are always fun.
They don’t suck. Haters gotta hate.

Ari: Blackouts? Fuckin’ Blackouts! Thank you very much!
Mrs. Ari: The town will understand it, Ari. It’s not the movie’s fault.
Ari:: Baby… It wasn’t the Cubs’ fault when that douchebag grabbed the foul ball either, but they still don’t get the World Series’ ring. There are no asterisks in this life, only scoreboards, and ours is currently reading “FUCKED”!

Getting blindfolded with dental floss is the NKI.
There is no way such a classy and prestigious news organization woudl do anything like that
Idea for E*Trade commercial: Lindsay Lohan appears on screen, wearing a tank top. She says, “Trade fast with E*Trade [or something to that effect, still working on the wording.] Don’t be a milkaholic, like me, Lindsay Lohan!” And then, with a huge grin, she rips off her top and proceeds to self-lactate herself into the camera lens. This continues for the remainder of the twenty-five seconds of the spot.
You are welcome, Mr. Ken Griffin.
Face.
Too well dressed.
Dong, where is my automobile?
I don’t want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don’t want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don’t want to do that.
No more yankie my wankie. The Donger need food.
Me winning isn’t. You do.

It tastes like a jolly rancher getting it on with a mouthwash.
