Summary: Interviewers' comments

All an interviewer has to say is that the applicant is not
"product oriented" or that the person is a "basic researcher"
or an "academic".  The interviewer can ask "Would this person
really do something that was not related to the subject of
his/her thesis?"

In most companies, this is enough to get an applicant rejected.
I saw a perfectly competent (Chinese male) applicant rejected
from a job only on thse grounds.  Any new Ph.D. is eligible for
this classification.
