Job hunter can't blame phone

A man surnamed Xu in Wuhan, Hubei province, was turned down by the HR manager when he went for a job interview because the manager saw him using an iPhone and thought he was from a well-off background and would not be able to bear hardship. Although it seems ridiculous, it will not help the job hunter find a job if he puts the blame on the smartphone rather than his own weakness, says an article on gmw.cn. Excerpts:

On the surface, it is indeed biased for the HR manager to judge whether a job applicant is hardworking or not by the mobile phone an applicant uses. However, in this case, the jobseeker made some mistakes that are the real reasons why he failed the interview.
