Hey guys. I have been applying to Amex for the past 1 year. Tried applying on the portal, through referrals and even hr consultants reached me regarding the roles since I have a relevant profile. But not once have I been shortlisted or called for an interview. What could be the problem?
PS: I have gotten calls from every other company for the same profile but not amex. Can't be a problem with the profile. Seems something dicey which I'm not aware of.American Express
Who likes to listen to country while working?

Tbh my Asian friends and my parents always scold me when I tip even 15% at restaurants. They're like, "The restaurant owner should be grateful we even came to buy their food! If you liked it then give them maybe $1-2."
I don’t tip more to avoid the stereotype. I tip more when it’s good service. I once tipped 5% because the waiter never came by after he brought out my food and he was sitting on the other table playing on his phone the whole time. I had to call other waiter to bring out my check. It’s like he forgot that he’s still working lol
OP I agree with your sentiment. For business travel meals I tip exactly 20% or just under 20%. Whenever I’m paying out of my own pocket, I typically go 18% to 22%, never less than 15% and never more than 30%, depending on service quality and whether it’s a high cost of living city. I’m Chinese so I tend to pay more on the off chance I get a server (in a non-Chinese restaurant) who speaks Chinese. I’ll contribute more if it’s a mom and pop shop and err on the side of 15% if it’s an expensive steakhouse/seafood/sushi place. When I first came from China, I tipped 10% to 15% because I was in undergrad racking up credit card debt. Now that I’m working I feel like helping others.
🙋🏻♀️ but only if the service was good. If not, I definitely don’t because I don’t want to associate Asians/myself with “suckers"
That is definitely me... even got into a fight with my mom one time because she kept commenting on how there’s no need to be nicer than the minimum requirement to perfect strangers, and I alone can’t reverse the stereotypes about Asians... but my thought was, it starts with me. When I see some of my Asian friends give crappy tips (esp. at non-Asian restaurants) I definitely cringe on the inside. If someone has lived and worked in the states for a number of years there’s not really a good excuse for not at least giving an average tip these days, which is like 18-20% now.
Define more. More than20%? But personally, definitely not. I invest in myself first. Also depends on the experience and # of ppl. If a meal for 2 cost $25, I tip $5-7. If it cost 40, I still tip the about same. 🤷🏻♂️
I normally tip unless they include service charge in my bill.
