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.
Come on Fly Boy there is plenty more there for you to get your knickers in twist about!!
Key account manager-Rascist
Full time editor-We're looking for a mature individual -Ageist
Just in the first two adverts I look I am deeply offended. I'm sure you can find many more!
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...
And I do realise how sexist that comment is
The old double-standards
