false,false,....na'ay reason nganu e-hire ang tawo, na'a sad reason nganu dili, ana lang na

my POV with this is, most of the companies who will not hire single parents think you will be overwhelmed already with your child/children's stuff and you might can't render overtime if needed in the company. Or you might apply too many PTOs/leaves coz no one will take care of them.

Still, a company can say it's their preference.

but isn't it depriving someone's goal to earn and feed their child or children? it doesn't seem right for me. unless guro if it's religious institution basin acceptable pa ilang reason, but for other private companies? sseeessshhhh if they're also concerned with "morality", kadaghan mga minyo karon nangabit within sa office...

depends on what position... there are positions that the skills needed are based on the educational background... however the skills cant be determined yet that's why there is what you call an interview and also training... before you fully get the job...

sakto gyud ni bro

i understand your point.
During interviews they can always try to prove their current status will not be a hassle or a hindrance with the position. But soon, if it's a high ranking position, their jobs will demand more time and concentration.

Also, a woman who is a single parent has a higher chance of resigning. There are gazillion reasons why they resign but one big factor is to focus with his child/children.

I remember, I told the HR about a single parent who kept on applying PTO almost every week. HR said "We are doing business and we need appropriate manpower to finish our work to meet TAT. Again, we are doing business and not a charitable institution. If we will keep on paying losses and penalties for not reaching our TAT then we should replace her."

There are so many applicants for a position. so like it or not, they would prefer someone to prioritize the job than their personal lives. I know there are some companies who don't really take this status seriously.

^ It's also called preference.
Some companies think applicants who has a degree is more patient and intelligent.
I always complain about this. There are more undergrads qualified for the post than graduates but because it's the company's preference wala na jud mahimo.

There are some undergrads who ace application interviews but during the actual work magsiga nalang mata. most engineering jobs and positions na kelangan jud og very high quality or minimal error kelangan graduate jud kay kasagaran major subjects sa 3rd, 4th and 5th year mas relevant naman na sa job.

Ay, karon pa nako ni nabasa.

Preference, maybe. Preference, in its most basic definition, means the right or chance to so choose. To prefer is to choose something that is more desirable or has more value than the others. To discriminate, on the other hand, is to make decisions with prejudice - judgments formed beforehand WITHOUT examination of the facts, or in this case, credentials.

It's only reasonable for any employer or any person in authority nowadays to weigh each and every applicant based on his educational background, among other things. Choose wisely, as others may want to call it. We are in the globally competent age now, and the nation is producing more and more degree holders. The "skilled" high school grad applicant, upon looking at that piece of paper called resumé, must ask himself: What edge do I have? Would he believe me if I just tell him I know the works? Why would le boss settle for less? Why should he want to choose me?

Another thing, skills may be acquired through hands-on work and a fresh grad may appear inexperienced, but that’s the reason why there are trainings. Between high school grad applicants and a college grad applicants, le boss would most likely be inclined to believe that the college grads would be able to learn the stuff easier, if not faster, in a lesser period of time.

Basically, college grads get better jobs (and get the jobs better) because there are just some things they CAN do in a certain position that a high school grad CANNOT, respectfully.

And 'bout the mag siga lang ang mata after getting the job part, I think that subject deserves to be discussed in a separate thread.
