萝卜坑 – luóbokēng – radish recruitment

Are you looking for a career change? Then make sure that you don’t fall victim to a radish recruitment when browsing through the open jobs in your occupational field. The Chinese saying goes: 一个萝卜一个坑 yí gè luóbo yí gè kēng. Loosely translated: Each radish grows in its own hole. And that means: As far as work is concerned, everyone has their place and a specific task to concentrate on. A quintessence of thousands of years of working the fields. But sometimes the agricultural world is turned upside down: When the radish is there first and the matching hole only comes later. Sounds like a crazy version of the chicken-or-egg problem? That’s right!
