I know...he's using a Fine ballpoint pen on a T005-3 Triplicate form. It'll never copy all the way through.

"wrong"? Hmmm....

If you had asked "what's funny?", I'd say the ostrich-necked gal sitting down smiling like a loon. She's looking pretty humourous. Her friend beside her has that scrunch-mouth/fat-lip face. The dudes in the photo are all looking bored or peeved. So are some of the girls. Typical Korean assortment here, I'd say.

If you didn't say "look carefully", I'd guess this was just another of your "doom & gloom", "look at the rats fleeing the sinking ship" thread.

Okay, I give up. What's wrong with this photo? (I bet it's something silly.)

EDIT: C'mon, I got crap to do here... don't make us wait too long for the answer.

Most of the job seekers are women.

I will bite your bait.

The guys all look peeved. Most of the girls all look happy. It is the old 'Korean guy not releasing his han moment'. = cant have life his way. And "Look at my F***** DNA and wash my feet with your tears."

The only person dressed appropriately for a job interview is at the back of the line, and he looks pissed at the smiling girl wearing the t-shirt/denim jacket.

I agree. I'd run away from all those sour-faced bores in the back. And the interviewees are dressed terribly, except for that guy in the back who looks more than thrilled to be there. Rolling Eyes
I've been to job fairs and I had to be dressed to the T and carry smart-job apparel (briefcases)...not little college girl backpacks. I'd say it's their horrible attitude (except for the front two girls) written all over their faces...who'd want to hire them?...I sure as hell wouldn't.

My wild stab in the dark would be that he's only talking to young, impressionable girls about these "internship" positions. No wonder the guys look pissed. Shocked Wink

But really I have no clue. (as usual) Embarassed

Foreign business job fair: A jobseeker talks with Sigmund Lance Ebert of Global College Online, a company that provides overseas internship programs in Australia, during the 1st Foreign Business�� Job Fair at COEX, southern Seoul, Thursday. Seoul City organized the two-day event to help youth find jobs. About 140 businesses participated in the fair, which offered more than 1,000 jobs.


As far as what's wrong. Except for what most of the Koreans in the picture think is appropriate attire for an interview, I don''t know.

they're not at an interview, they're just finding out information. If I was representing my firm at a job fair and one of the attendees was wearing a suit, I'd think they were pretty weird.
Actually I remember someone from British Aerospace coming to my uni to recruit summer interns- he was horrified when most of the applicants wore suits, didn't think it was approriate at all.

JongnoGuru, Adam, and weatherman seem to identify what is wrong.

That's it???? Christ you need some new material man; there are, as far as I can see only two men in the picture, both of them looking at different stands. There are actually only two people smiling, two women are frowning also.

The two people smiling are the only people actually engaged in discussion with 'The Bobster' who has obviously said something amusing, to those speaking directly with him. The guy frowning behind, obviously didn't understand, and is not directly involved in the discussion.
