No more discrimination?
-
Read TODAY newspaper.
Job applicants might not see fields like 'gender', 'marital status', 'religion', 'race' etc and a recent colour photograph might not be required anymore on job application forms to avoid discrimination.
I wonder, how many of you were being discriminated at job interviews before? Do you think this is a good idea? -
Oh. This ish my very first job since I ROD from SAF. Still holding on to it after 12 years. Bo chance go for other job interviews

beri gd idea la brownie jie jie....ask u would u rather be employed based on ya looks or based on ability?...of cos it's good la...but as for anything that would have a con...this system might be abused by people...eg. people can fake cert all these and easily get thru...

how come cannot choose?Originally posted by Gordonator:i was at the SPH CATS call center the other day and this porridge shop tow kay called in to paste an advertisement in the newspaper. he wanted a female porridge stall helper to help in cooking porridge but the call agent said cannot choose gender.
u mean this thing is effective already?
for certain jobs, i think no choice.. esp if it's a solely female working environment selling female products or services.. -
its still the same, they can still reject u after the interview. just waste time for both of them.

Adverts are adverts. If they want to screen out people, they will still do so looking at personal particulars filled in. -
so for this thread seems now an empty talk only...first we r so happy that we wun need to suffer discrimination of one kind or the other, based on working ability rather than looks and paper qualification....in the end this new rule still turns one big round back to square like Parka have mentioned....Originally posted by Parka: Adverts are adverts.

as parka mentioned. the rule applies to advertisments.Originally posted by browniebaobao:u sure?

muz also remove those questions at the end of the application form, such as
1) Are you suffering from any illness?
2) Have you ever declared bankrupt?
3) Have u ever been summoned to court blah blah..
especially for the first one, i really duno should i fill in or not.. what does 'illness' mean? -
