we have recently put an advert in the job centre plus for a driver/labourer, who for insurance reasons must be over 25.!!! "sorry you cant say that" they said because it is "AGEIST" the woman said??? i dont even think i can spell it because i have never heard of it?? FFS!!!!!!!! rant over, i just thought i should share it with you!!

[SKA]

change it to must be mature or something like that!!

[daffy654]

You could put must have at least 6 years driving experience or as SKA said ask for mature drivers.

[rugeleyboy]

not allowed to.

The work i do is a hard dirty job and because of that we need a fairly fit person who can drive but other than stipulate a driving license required we cant ask for a fit person over 25?

stupid if you ask me.... i have had a couple of calls from people who i have had to tell them about the 25 year old rule (them being younger) so its wasting their time and mine??

agree with ya rb, some jobs are for the younger generation , some are for the older generation, seems you cant be specific about who you actually need to do the job required these days, bit like eveything else, watch what ya say cause you might just offend someone!
