The op is thinking like a typical typical Nigerian and I'm not surprise.

In advance country where things work out fine. It doesn't matter if you are short or not. As long as you are useful to the organisation. You are good to go.

What about if you are black? grin I have read many cases of blacks crying of being rejected

The op has stated the obvious fact. Reason why I won’t marry an ugly woman .. apart from good character, I’ll still consider the look too … I’m ugly grin

Exactly my point too. Its unprofessional for the recruiter to voice such sentiment. But then it's his prerogative to employ using any yardstick he may want. Some wont even employ you if you have certain accents.

This is the bane of recruitment in Nigeria.

You've spoken well.

The same lady would reject a guy for being too short, ugly or bald.

It's not comforting, but the truth is that attractiveness can open quite some doors for you.

Anyone who doesn't know this is simply living in a fool's paradise.

stop being deluded ..if the reverse was the case you won't type this here.
People who are short are still keeping employed same with tall people.
Why saying is because you are short and tall you won't be given a particular job.even if that's the cause why saying it to the employee?(
Obviously you are not thinking and It's glaring you failed to comprehend the write-up but it's fine.

Nonsense, It depends on the job advert. E.g What does height or physical appearance got to the with you being a good programmer.

You need to go out more, there are many big organization having staff that are physically challenged and didn't have any issues with them.




You could make make your points without being derisory. And I wonder what you mean by "you should go out more".

That said, you really think any organisation will hire a disabled person over a person without disability all things being equal? 99 times out of hundred, they wont, the other 1 time is when pity comes into play.

Mind you, organizations specifically hire people with disability just to improve their diversity ratio, dont be deceived.

I maintain that very few hirers will hire a below average looking person over an attractive person "all things being equal". It isnt comforting, but that's the truth.

The bolded ... would you be in support of Blacks not being allowed in hotels... restaurants ... sitting in the front seats of buses etc .... if so be the prerogative of the owner?

@ topic .... it.is wrong for the employer to not state a minimum height requirement if short people are not eligible for the job. It is an insult for the employer to later tell her she is too short. On preferring a taller woman to a shorter one is not automatic ..... all things being equal .... would you employ a tallll pro basketball like female to be a kindergarten teacher?.... or a short female? As a receptionist for Agency for Discrimination Against Dwarfs ... would you hire the tallll beautiful applicant?.... or the short equally beautiful one?

I agree and carefully noted in my OP that its unprofessional and unacceptable for a recruiter to tell an applicant that she is short. But he could also have reject2d the applicant for same reason without actually saying it.

For the scenario you painted, I wont employ a tall person for a Dwarfism project, but would that not also make me vile going by your logic? Recruiters reject applicants for a plethora of reasons, its just that applicants never get to know.

Your future kids will thank you for it.

Not like some ugly people that will still open their eyes and choose another ugly person over a good looking one.

This sounds totally crude and primitive. Being a receptionist is not showbiz, military or beauty pergentary. There is absolutely nothing wrong in an albino being a bank teller, if he is qualified and can do the job.

Not my fault anyway, I just pointed out the reality in Nigeria.
