sex discrimination of another kind ?
-
it appears that many of the jobs i called up in the papers dont specify that they are looking for female staff only and it is only when i called up then tell me.
wtf ? first discriminated because of NS. then sex? and i constantly hear my sis lamenting abt sex discrimination aganist women

seems like more and more jobs are reserved for women!! is it a common practise now?
-
most woman can multi task...man cannot.
-
Did you check the section you're reading? Is it the secretary positions you were reading?
-
they CANNOT specify that they ONLY want female applicants.... just like they CANNOT state that they ONLY want young chaps or chinese or whatever race.... and well... it all depends on what kinda position u're looking for...

When are you enlisted for NS?Originally posted by bismarck:yeap tried. editing my resume these few days and looking at the papers while at that..

Truly, at this point of time, NS is a liability. But still there are temp jobs for you.
Keep searching. All the best. -

I think it's more like a 'misunderstanding'?Originally posted by bismarck:it appears that many of the jobs i called up in the papers dont specify that they are looking for female staff only and it is only when i called up then tell me.

I think this is really sort of like a misconcept too?Originally posted by BaByBoY:why the need for woman`s charter if women aren`t biased against men??

If you date back to the time when Woman's Chapter was 1st set up, it was really something back then for the females as most females were definitely biased against back then... And if you're thinking of 'biased' today, nope... It ain't anything much compared to those days... And it has definitely saved alot of women back then...
Talk of Woman's Chapter today... Though I would sometimes have doubts about validity of some of the 'laws' stated within for today's usage.. But it certainly still continue to help many in need... And of course, just like almost any existing legal systems existing... If there're people using it, there're probably bound to be others abusing it...? So... All I can say is a 'balance'...? -
i know this is seriously OT, i know there's another side of this story where a woman is protected by WC(women's charter) but i have a relative where WC was used against him because of the WC's inherent flaws.Originally posted by Devil1976:I think this is really sort of like a misconcept too?

sept 2005Originally posted by fuck fuck fuck:when you going in?
Sep this year. my first interviewer knew i had NS liability (she asked so i told her) and when i came down for the interview, she was surprised to hear it was in sept as she thought it would be next year.Originally posted by M©+square:When are you enlisted for NS?

right, ok i cant blame her for lack of familarity with NS, though some women i know are damn familar with it
anyway, i've taken it in stride (though it gets hard to swallow at times) as some of the hurdles i will face in job hunting later on. and this is the real world which my lecturer wanted me to see ?
