Strange Interview
by sambarvada Fri Jul 08, 2011 5:28 pm
"You've completed a four-year university?" the recruiter asked, pen poised above my résumé.
"Yes," I said.
"And your stream?"
"Pardon?"
She sighed. "What did you study?"
"Religion," I said. "Well—liberal arts."
She made a face, scribbling something.
"What does your father do?" she asked.
"He's a doctor."
"And your mother is a housewife?"
"No, a doctor also."
"A doctor also! Why didn't you go in for that line?"
"I...I didn't want to," I said.
"You didn't want to?" She could no longer hide her exasperation.
"These things are different in America," I said feebly.
She stood and offered her hand. "We'll let you know if anything opens up."

i read this yesterday. It is an excellent article about the call center training and ppl who go there to work from an american perspective.
I wanted to post it here but got distracted with other stuff.
Of all the things to post about that article you chose to highlight the most inane part focusing on his doctor parents. I don't know why.

Isn't it obvious, Dr. Rabbit?
Think and think well....
