Has anyone seen the local job ads here? This is mild by comparison. This could have been written by any number of people who have a number of motivations. But my gut tells me it's just someone looking for an honest person who has some ability to fit into a foreigner household! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_shor Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Yes the rules here are different than the US it seems the employers and ask for any requirements. With far more appilcants than jobs they can pick and choose on any basis they like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Doesn't look discriminative to me. I've seen lots and lots of job ads for in the Philippines. Most are similar with the age and gender requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it discriminates, but I'm guessing anyone without exposure to the RP job market would think it discriminates. There's no mention of religious background, minimum height, or physical appearance so it looks OK to me. If I knew someone that fit the requirements listed, I wouldn't hesitate to encourage them to apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The minimum height requirements usually for factory jobs is a bit silly in my opinion for a country which people are generally short. I dont see why they cant make their factory set ups to suit the size of its people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twostrokes Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Naturally it discriminates. All adds for employment should discriminate if they want to try to get what they want. The problem in the US is that the gov't has got to keep their hands in everyones plate. A private company must hire just about whoever walks in the door that can half way meet the requirements or face charges of discrimination. Take example hooters. They have faced more than one lawsuit because some gal didn't have big enough boobs. About the only way you can get away with it is to require some type skill. Age and looks alone will get you in trouble. If the PI has 100 million people out of work, why shouldn't a company hire what they like when so many to choose from. Is it fair?? Probably not, but life isn't fair. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
