Woman and business: gender discriminationfeature when applying for a job

Thu, Jan 23, 2014

The problem of discrimination on the basis of sex faced at least
time in the life of many Russians. And although officially no
Russian women do not encounter harassment at work;
Each of us will find examples from life when exactly the floor became
reason for failure when trying to get a job. How does this happen
and which category of women is the most difficult to fill vacancies?

  • Незамужние девушки. Although this category
    workers are not burdened with children or family concerns,
    an employer instead of a young specialist often sees a girl
    crook, seeking, by all means, to get the coveted
    position and immediately go on maternity leave. That fact,
    that the applicant herself is not only not thinking of such deceit,
    but he doesn’t even have a serious-minded boyfriend,
    not taken into account. Obviously, repeatedly scared so
    cheeky trick, as care on the decree of the subordinate, the employer does not
    ready to take risks again. Well, burned in milk, blow on the water
    – it’s just a shame that the company’s management is losing its own flow
    fresh forces, only because of their own phobias, often completely
    unreasonable.
  • Молодые мамы. Women who have already “served” laid
    law leave to care for the baby, are at great risk to get bogged down in
    household for a long time. Depending on the policies of the firm,
    someone will be given the green light immediately after the child enters school,
    but some particularly shy individuals negatively perceive and moms
    more adult children. Perhaps this employer is not satisfied
    the prospect of daily listening to the solution of arithmetic problems and
    Repeat “ch-schA” on a work phone. Maybe it reminds
    about the boring school lessons or the rules of the Russian language
    Oskominu with their own children. Anyway, attitude to
    professionals with children, far from ideal.

There is such an unpleasant thing as discrimination after
Employment. After all, the employer was so generous and gracious that
hired an employee, despite the grave sin of motherhood.
Therefore, he will try as often as possible to remind the woman of her
the disadvantage of making a sour face every time you need to take time off
from work early. Any serious headache
activities related to school and kindergarten: matinees and
parent meetings, and during epidemics working moms
have to adopt a whole arsenal in advance
antivirals and immunomodulators.

What if nature created you as a woman, and
fate-villain did not help win the lottery or get
legacy never to think of the harsh workers again
everyday life? Give up interesting offers in advance, cheat and
bite yourself at the job interview or hire a nanny, losing the lion’s share
earnings? Or maybe the problem is that women themselves allow
such an attitude, embarrassed by questions about family composition during
interview, and not feeling confident?

When employment should remember that you conclude
mutually beneficial deal – the company receives a specialist who takes on
a certain array of work and responsibility, and the employee
worthy reward for their experience and professionalism. Is the same
the maternity part of the arrangement is protected
legislation, and all attempts to circumvent the Labor Code do not speak
in favor of the employer. Often, self-confidence helps dispel
leadership fears. During the interview, try
follow certain rules:

  • Do not let you drive you into a dead end by talking about your plans for
    motherhood. Do not give promises and take a vow
    chastity for the entire period of cooperation. Try correctly,
    but firmly make it clear to the interlocutor that they are interested in work and
    development and see no reason to discuss your personal life.
  • Do not swear on the health of children, promising the future superiors
    no runny nose and flu for the next five years. After all, others
    employees who are not burdened with children, get sick at least.
  • Try not to delve into the theme of motherhood and childhood,
    returning the interlocutor to the discussion of working moments and
    direct responsibilities. So you will not only avoid unpleasant
    dialogues, but also show yourself to be an interested specialist, and not
    anxious mommy.

If you feel that giving up your services directly
associated with the “children’s theme” – do not be discouraged. To deal with
guesses of leadership at every necessary day off or endure
the unethical attitude of employees during pregnancy is not
that is worth fighting for. Maybe next time you meet
leadership “with a human face.” Yes, and work in the company,
evaluating workers by their skills, not by eye color, length
hair or marital status is much more comfortable.
