How Not to Dress for a Job Fair

Did you see this one of a guy at a job fair in a t-shirt that is VERY NSFW? (Words only, BTW.)

    I once went to an engineering career fair at a well known southern university. A very nervous undergrad walked up to my booth and started asking me some questions. After answering them, I asked him what his major was.

    This caught him completely off-guard! He stuttered and stammered and eventually said, “Um, oh, I can’t remember…what is my major? I don’t know, I just love to code, man. I just love to code.”

    Needless to say, we didn’t hire him.

    This job fair is in Romania and the guy’s shirt is in English. If you were at a job fair in the U.S.(& jeans/t-shirts were acceptable) and you saw the same guy with the same message but in Romanian, would you
    1) be inclined to ask what it meant?
    2) not know what it meant, not ask and think this guy is cool/hip/sophisticated for having a t-shirt with foriegn language?

    My experience from traveling internationally is that English curse words are very well know from movies, TV and music. Often, people will cuss in English in day to day circumstances with their native foul language being reserved for only serious issues.

    I would guess that many people in Romania know the word f***.
