Starting at the top
Climbing the career ladder has suddenly gotten a lot more difficult in Japan. This morning, ImageNet, a leading apparel online retailer just concluded a round of interviews for new job applicants. What's unusual was that the interviews were held at dawn at the top of Mt Fuji, Japan's tallest mountain, to ensure that new employees have "what it takes to scale the heights of business." Of the 20 candidates, only 11 were able to make the 12400 ft climb to compete for four job openings.
I don't understand: Why couldn't they just get Donald Trump to tell the job seekers "You're Fired!" back at the Tokyo office? Admits Yoshifumi Tsunada, head of public relations: "A lot of people have said we are strange."
"You're not hired!"
