"Equal Opportunities Employer"
Discussion
I am filling out an application form for an internal job position within my company and came accross the question:
"Company x is an equal opportunities employer. What do you do in your current role to promote equal opportunities within the workplace?"
Would "I am not a racist" suffice?
ETA - balls! just realised the 3 p's in the title!
this is not reflective of the quality of my application... much

Nothing. I judge people on their abilities and skills. I don't do "equal opportunity" I give the work to the person I think will do the best job of it. If that breaches the company "equal opportunities" regulations, give the work to the retards in the dept as well as the talented people, and we'll build warships from cardboard and sticky-back plastic.
It's a nonsense.
I agree.It's a nonsense.

How about saying...." I promote equal opportunities for all by treating all people in the same proffessional manner. Irrespective of race, relegion, sexuality or any other identifying catagorizations"
Cheers! I realised I needed to pad out my answer a bit more. But, as doogz said, it's such a nonsensical question!TwigtheWonderkid said:
That might imply that you still discriminate on grounds of gender, sexuality, disability etc. Equal opportunities is about more than race.
You're right. 'I don't take anything into consideration. I put all the applicants names in a hat and select one at random.'

Years ago I worked for someone who picked out 10% of the job applications at random and binned them. His thinking was that the ones he picked were unlucky, and he didn't want any unlucky people working for him!TwigtheWonderkid said:
