The Extracurricular Being

 
 
Yup, you read it right!  We can have discriminatory job ads reported in JobStreet.

As I've said in my previous post, we job hunters can do something about discrimination in the Philippine.

For example, I was able to spot a job ad that discriminates people who are above 27 years old.

Let's walk through the process of reporting the said job ad.

1. Click the "Report Advertisment" link at the bottom of the job ad webpage.

2. A new window will be opened.  Enter your email address.  This is where Jobstreet will contact you regarding the status of your report, so be sure to check your email regularly.

3. In the "Report this advertisement as" drop down menu, choose the reason for reporting the job ad.  Please note that a job ad can be reported not only for discrimination (e.g. age/gender, language/marital status, race/religion), but also for fraudulent/misleading claims and poor job description.

4. In the "Write your comments here" box, you can type your comments regarding the job ad you are reporting.

5. Finally, click the "OK" button below the "Write your comments here" box.  It will open a new window, wherein Jobstreet will confirm that you have successfully submitted your report.
