Hunger never deal with you. By the time hunger is through with you , nobody go tell you to hit the street , carrying loads ( kaya) , wash plates for mama put, labourer for construction sites ......

Do they need to tell you that story is another made up twitter lie?

BOOKWORMLUX:
Only Jesus can show real love to everyone..... Our world needs Jesus.
We keep deceiving ourselves, but there's no love in the society

OP, from your own submission, I believe that the whites are right for feeling superior to blacks and there's nothing wrong about it

#NoLoveInOurWorld

People show love based on looks

JESUS loved everyone, gave hope to people that would ordinarily have been rejected

Jesus is king

But Jesus won't come down from heaven to show love.....Or you want to wait until you die before u experience love since nobody wants to show u love.

Tripitaka:


Exactly my point too. Its unprofessional for the recruiter to voice such sentiment. But then it's his prerogative to employ using any yardstick he may want. Some wont even employ you if you have certain accents.

Then the ideal thing to do is make sure those requirements are spelt out ab initio else you could be making a presence in the court for traumatizing someone. Not everything is meant to be joked with and voiced out.

Make she rest na. She will surely get a more suitable job soon.

Height has no role in a receptionist job to be fair. That itself is discrimination, and should ideally be illegal.

This is totally different from a military job where certain people bases on their physical attribute should be shielded from such.

All employers must be able to state clear, accessible and justifiable essential and desirable criteria for recruitment. If you can't print height in this criteria for receptionist, then it's all shades wrong, whether spoken verbally or implied.

We are lights years behind in the scheme of things. Someday all will be well.

Karleb:
You've spoken well.

The same lady would reject a guy for being too short, ugly or bald.

Which makes me wonder why Blacks are quick to pull the racism card when being rejected by whites because of the color of our skin.

Tripitaka after all it's all sentiments abi?

I want to buy this cylinder does anyone who resides in Lagos have this? I would pay today if it's available asap!

https://www.nairaland.com/7033680/rejected-job-because-too-short

Some days ago I read with amazement the takes of some persons on the attached thread.

So this lady was rejected by the recruiter for being "short". Perhaps the story is untrue just as many like it on Twitter, but I'm reacting on the premise that it's true (even though most likely greatly embellished).

Firstly, its crass and unprofessional for a recruiter to voice such words whether directly or indirectly, but sentiments is a huge part of decision making. Heck, most of y'all were never called back by the HR for the same reason as the complainant; only difference is that you weren't expressly told that you're short, fat, have terrible dentition, have bent legs or look too tacky and malnourished. Do you recall attending that interview where you believed you smashed it and impressed the recruiters, but never heard from them again? That could be it.

In certain businesses especially the hospitality sector, looks is a big deal. Have you seen airhosts? Have you see the attendants and receptionists at top range hotels? If all things are roughly equal among applicants, recruiter will tend to favor those who look more polished and are attractive.

The word “attractive” doesn’t just mean people want to have sex with them, it means people enjoy being around them more. It’s a reality, harsh as it may be. Businesses that appeal to the public work hard to make everything about the customer experience attractive….nice furniture and pretty pictures on the wall in a restaurant, attractive interiors, buildings or landscapes in the background of movies, and so on. It shouldn’t be surprising at all that they prefer attractive employees in customer facing positions.

This is natural.

Also, as a business owner, why will I employ a short first class receptionist when I can employ a tall first class receptionist? Wheres the wisdom? Beauty and intelligence are not mutually exclusive which means that one can have both. If as an HR, I have 100s of applicant for a single opening, does this not give me the privilege to pick "the best"?

Most of yall trying to be politically correct on the other thread certainly wont employ dwarfs in your organisation irrespective of qualifications. Image is super important especially in customer-facing positions and you're automatically a brand ambassador. Funnily enough, a lot of women only hang out with their beautiful friends while they call the average ones when they need relationship advise (I've had a couple of persons admit to this).

Some even ignorantly cursed out the country. Have you wondered why even some foreign orgs require you to attach a passport photograph or make a short video of yourself? That's right, they want to see what you look like. Even the military wont employ you if you're not up to a certain height or with a proper BMI.

That's why I always say that if you're goodlooking and well poised, then consider yourself as already having a fair headstart in life. Do not let anyone deceive you, beauty avails you a lot of privileges, but it's not just beauty.

One of the truths no one will tell you.

Tripitaka thank you for this insight.

Professorcplus:
Omo short na for lady wey worwor.
Smalli na for the ones with right curve with banging body and fine face.

Beauty is not by height, height is just a plus.

You seem not to understand the OP.

Many people really just like to live in denial.

What the OP has stated is merely the truth.

Empty. Trash. Nusiance.

Atimes, black people take racism too far. Even these LGBT+ people are found of that too.

Some feminist too are not left out.

Perhaps a new advocacy can be pioneered by you in Nigeria. OP truly expressed the truth we don't tell our selfs. Have you ever seen an albino as a teller in the bank or a dwarf as a receptionist in any organization or customer service representatives? Even in movie roles and music industry attractiveness is a criteria. Rick Ross, Davido, Eniola and even you I'm certain you don't vibe to unattractive people.

Am curious what makes her ugly (her hair is fake number 1). The details, such as ......

Too far? How?! You see, it's not different from what tripitaka is trying to make look rational. Sentiments are mostly irrational dogma.

The Op is actually telling the truth.

Nigerians like putting emotions in everything. Gosh! This isn't Nollywood movie that the rejected employee will now be the chief cornerstone.

an African would scream blue murder if he was denied the right to contest for a political post in US but in Nigeria here, that same igbo man cannot contest nor win a local chairmanship election in Kaduna and he knows that.

The OP made perfect sense. That lady simply didn't meet the requirements. Thoungh the HR was wrong to voice itin that manner.
