Dare kiss a crocodile? You might get 1,000 yuan and a job

Job-seekers are always told to be prepared. A company in Guangzhou, Guangdong province is attracting potential employees in a weird way: by letting them kiss a crocodile on the street. The company sends the crocodile and an employee out onto the street and those who kiss the croc pass the first test by demonstrating their courage. Whoever does so immediately wins 1,000 yuan.

The crocodile's mouth is tied shut. Some brave and nosy men wanted to have a go but were stopped by company staff who said they only want to hire female graduates with beauty and wisdom.

Sexism aside, the staff claims that kissing the crocodile is meant to help interviewees overcome their fear of crocodiles, as the company sells crocodile-related health care products.

After seeing a job-hiring stunt like this, who can blame job-seekers for not getting any jobs?

In our next story, farm animals are helping to predict earthquakes.
