Question:
I have sent my resume Sample to RIM more than 10 times for few identical
accounting postings where my resume was a close match but never heard
back from them. One of the KW area recruiter told me that RIM is
focusing only on local talent, not hiring anymore outside KW.
Besides looking for job within accounting and Finance field I have
been applying for some odd jobs. example Once I received a call from Pizza
Pizza for driver job. They interviewed me but refused to offer me the
position because I am a bearded person and they do not hire anyone who
has beard or goti.
Is it fair/legal?
Answer:
as a long-haired, bearded old hippy, I can assure you it has being
going on for at least 40 years.
They do have the right (and I think correctly so) that precautions be
taken for both safety and sanitary reasons. For example, in the food
industry, I have always worn both a hair net and a beard net. Turbans
and hardhats would be problematic, I am sure.
