I am browsing one of the online job finder sites. Upon opening each tab, this caught my attention. At the qualifications list the employer is looking for someone who has no debt (2.4), not disable (this one is not funny 2.6) and not bankrupt (2.5).
I found the qualifications a bit odd, don´t you?

Well, I agree with you on that. I wonder why they included that?

Yes, considering that this is a teaching job. It is just so weird. and who would say that I am in big money problem and I am bankrupt.

@Mavic123456 Money problems are why people look for jobs. Your personal life should not matter as long as you do the job, are there on time, and are respectful at work.

@akalinus this is exactly my point. This is also a red flag to the applicants. Maybe this employer is too nosy, and meddling with personal business.

if only I can report this to the job finder site I will. this is what the employer criteria, it is okay if the applicant is a pedophile as long as he/she has no money problem and no disease and not disable.
thanks for replying

@DianneN no, i can't report it, it is a legitimate site and it a clean site and that's the desire of the employer, so I guess it is just a matter of sensitivity among the applicants and awareness.

@Mavic123456 Well, I for one, would never apply for a job with them! Not that I'm looking.

Well, maybe there they can post something like this, but around here in the US this would be considered discrimination so not allowed just in case someone might complain.

@Mavic123456 That is the problem. So many times it is hard to find someone to complain too as so many times anymore no one wants to listen. They only want what they want and nothing more

In this case where do you complain? This is real discrimination.

That is odd.
Makes me double think about the legitimacy of the job.

@Mavic123456 if it is indeed legitimate, then good. Just makes one have second thoughts about the qualifications they posted.

@allen0187 so right, it is 100% legitimate, I blame maybe the translator.

@akalinus if they are smart they will really have a second thought of applying here. If I am an NES I wont

Exactly, I don't know how will they find out the financial status of the applicant. I don't know if I can report this to the site, but the site is run by Americans too

the website is ok and legit, no question about that. it was just that this one is quite different.
