How female employees are chosen?

In my country, it's more or less the same. The only thing they ask from women, and not from men is whether they have kids or plan to have kids in the nearby future. It's unethical, but most companies have problems with hiring ladies who would go to maternity leave, and wouldn't be able to come to work for a while after that.

I'm sure there are abuses just as there are non-professional business people too, much too many I am afraid. From strictly the view of how a business should run not maybe not the way it does sometimes in reality, employers should hire based only on who can best do the work required. I think we can not have a blind eye to the fact that women and men are different as well as many other things like being single or married or with a family. All the factors in our life effect how we will interact in companies. These factors should not be taken advantage of. I know what you are saying here, the roles do apply differently. I think the front desk of an office requires special attention and most business people would like something attractive sitting there. That is one example I can think of, of not so official duties. I think as employees, we need to be firm and also knowledgeable on exactly what role we are willing to play?

hi wishjui I ha ve no idea how all employers choose women employees but I do know from earlier experience that a lot overlook the resume if the woman is over a size 12 or is not young as I was in my fities and appilied tor a receptionist job in a factory that made sports equipment., The interviewer was pleased with my interview and called her boss to recommend me and I heard him clearly what size does she wear? anything above a twelve is out Mabel.So the receptionist mustt be in her twenties be pretty and very slim so resumes and qualifications did not mean diddle squat.

Where I used to work there was no difference with how we hire male or female employees. What we look for is experience, competence and educational attainment. However, there are instances when male applicants have an edge which is in production and maintenance departments. Physical strength becomes a crucial factor. There are labor laws that prohibit discrimination and if a company doesn't want to face a labor issue, the best it can do is to abide by the laws. However, there will always be unscrupulous employers who will expect personal favors and we simply can't eliminate that fact.

its just the same between male and female here
