    Sexist, Nationalist Job Ads on this site

    Is no one policing jobs?

    Equal opportunities.... poppycock!

    I'd love to be a boat stewardess, or a Key Account Manager.... Damn my sex and nationality!

    So?
    The boat stewardess never actually said female or that men would not be considered. What did you want them to advertise it as? A boat steward person? I cringe when I see those politically correct terms. I wouldn't stop me applying for a job advertised as a "chairman" - I'd rather work with people who just get on with the job than those who spend time worrying about this rubbish.

    And the other guys wanted an american because the job was liaison with american clients. No harm in asking. I suspect a Brit or an Australian would do just as well, and other nationalities probably not. So they are honest in what they want. Saves time in the long run.

    Yes, you're both right.
    Actually it doesn't really bother me....

    what does irk me a bit are those that want an 'expected salary' and specify that applications that don't include it will not be considered... cheap gits! haha

    Oh well, back to the grind...

    I'd prefer that to actually being a male cabin attendant... there are just some jobs that are not for men

    I agree there. What do you think would be the result if you put " competitive market salary" as a reply, or " a salary that would attract a man of my caliber"?

    Straight into the bin?

    You're right. Men are just not as capable as women.

    Too true... thank God for reproduction!

    Guys, never donate! Otherwise we'll truly be up the creek without a paddle... and let's face it, men are programmed only to get their paddle up the creek
