What's the joke about foreigners applying for jobs?

When it comes to the Internet industry, many people think that China lags behind the West, and many ideas are copied from the American model. However, at the Apple Global Developers Conference (WWDC20 17) just held this year, an invited China Internet finance giant won the favor of global IT elites. It is reported that it held a job fair next to the WWDC venue, which attracted hundreds of elites to come for interviews.

With the continuous development of Internet enterprises in China, more and more enterprises have started their own overseas recruitment plans. Recently, China enterprises dug corners at Apple WWDC conference, but diligent applicants made many jokes. So what's the joke about foreigners applying for jobs?

If you have an overseas programmer friend, don't joke with him about Chinese or China culture, otherwise these programmers will make jokes in the future, especially when they go to work in China.

After seeing the job fair, programmer Charles came to San Jose from San Francisco. In order to successfully apply, he also specially prepared a big red envelope. "I heard from friends in China that people in China will give out red envelopes on holidays."

At the recruitment site, Charles' red envelope surprised the interviewer, but it didn't make the interviewer angry. In fact, Charles, the job seeker, is not bribing the interviewer, but showing his willingness to actively integrate into China culture. In fact, Charles didn't know that people in China put money in red envelopes.

Applicants try their best to show their understanding of China, and red envelopes can actually reflect customs.

"There is no money in the red envelope. Foreign job seekers just regard red envelopes as a meeting etiquette. " It was only after an interviewer explained the meaning of red envelopes to job seekers in China that Charles realized that he had made a fool of himself.

Another Jesse from Silicon Valley also made a joke at the meeting. At the recruitment site, Jesse held up a big word "coward", which puzzled the interviewer from China.

Jesse explained that he wanted to tell the interviewer that he came to China from the heart and "followed his heart". His friend in China said it was "cowardice" to translate into Chinese.

A candidate showed his Chinese motto to the interviewer.

Being spoofed without knowing it made the interviewer at the scene laugh and cry. "Foreign job seekers are eager to come to China, hoping to please the interviewers. Because you are not familiar with China culture, it is inevitable to make jokes, but this is not important. " The interviewer said that enterprises value technical ability.
