This is really interesting. Recently, my hubby needs to hire a new guy for his team and went through the campus hire process.
From the shortlisted list, 95% of the applicants are from China and they hold really good academic and internship experience. Dean's List...Scholar etc.
Anyway, the interesting part is this. After the interviews and aptitude tests, hubby finally decided on one. And yesterday, hubby received a call from a lady and she said she's the mother of one of the applicant who didn't get hired.
She began asking hubby why his son is not chosen, what is the criteria, can hubby help him to look for another job in the company since the company so big, his son needs to vacate his NTU hostel and no where to stay (he's a malaysian) and that she used to appeal successfully for his son to get into the science stream in school so she is appealing now and so on.
I would be so embarassed if my mum did that. I wondered if this guy knew his mum called my hubby or he asked his mum to do that? No one knows.
I was telling my hubby, even if he's capable, I would not want to hire this guy. Imagine if he didn't get a promotion or a raise or a bonus next time, his mum will call up my hubby again and ask a lot of questions.
