Re: A Unemployed Reader Describes Language Discrimination By A Chinese(-American) Bank
From: Eric Kessler
Regarding your reader’s letter about being rejected for not speaking Chinese, a number of years ago I applied for a position with a company and interviewed with a Mexican assistant-manager. At the end of the interview, he told me that I was very qualified, but that, as many of the clients were from Taiwan, they were looking for someone who spoke Mandarin Chinese.
Since I used to live in Taiwan and could speak Chinese, I wrote a thank-you note in Chinese to the manager, who was a Chinese woman. I called her a few days later, and she told me that I was overqualified for the position.
