Oｈ ! my God story NO. ２４
Yasuto Nishitani 　　　　　　

There is nothing to wright in a resume in America .　(Taboo No ２)

 

I said in my last essay that it's taboo to ask woman's age in America.
This time, I will talk about other taboos that you have to pay attention to.
You never ask about their private life that they don't want to talk about.
Because, it will be an invasion of one's privacy.


I laughed when I heard a story like this in America.　　.
A company recruited their employees.
When the person in charge interviewed an applicant,
　he faced a big trouble.


He try to get some information from an applicant's resume.
But there was nothing written in the resume.
He didn't know how old this applicant was.
Not only the age but also the nationality,
　the educational background and the address were not written.
Even the sex, male or female, was not clear.


Having a long hair and wearing jeans,
　this applicant looked like a woman but could be a man.
The person in charge wasn't able to tell
　if this person was a woman or a man after all.

Oｈ ! my God.
