Lately I've Been looking for another job...

  1. ...and it ain't no fun. Being 17 (at least for another four months) is a major disadvantage, but now I have to contend with sexism? I applied at this day care place, right? Go in there, ask for an app (after asking if they're hiring) and the lady's all like:

    "Oh, um...We don't really hire...men."

    Yeah. I kid you not. I have almost a year's experience working at another daycare-like place, but no, they just pass up on next to free help for the simple fact that I have testicles? Okay...

    Whatever man.

    But it's not all frowns, I got a couple interviews (one that canceled, the other is later in the week) and a possible straight hire from Pac-Sun of all places. =D

    So I guess all is well.

    Ewwww a guy who wants to take care of kids?!?!?!?!?

    That sucks about the way they reacted. Good luck with the aplications. It sounds like you've got your bases covered though.

    I'm sorry to say I can understand why they wouldn't hire men, and I'm not even a parent. But how is it legal for them to say that?

    Well that sucks! Although its good to hear that you had pther interviews planned. No one ever expects these things to happen until they do.

    I could actually press charges, but to what gain? It won't make them hire me any more.

    Sex discrimination is illegal (Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964), but working at Pac-Sun sounds WAY better. Good luck on that.

    Yeah, kids suck anyway.

    I used to work in an after-school program, and I remember my supervise really, really wanted a guy there too, so he could hang out with the boys and be a good influence on them. What I'm saying is, those people are stupid. Good luck with the job hunt.
