U.S.Laws May Make Online Job Hunting Harder

Posted by Zonk on from the hunting-down-that-scourge dept.

j00bar writes "CNN/Fortune is reporting that applying for a job online is going to get harder. 'New federal guidelines meant to standardize how employers track data on the diversity of their job-applicant pool are taking effect starting today for jobs at federal contractors -- and similar rules will kick in later this year at U.S. companies with more than 50 employees. And resumes and search approaches that worked perfectly well before may no longer do the trick.'"

    an applicant must "express interest" in the job

    Surely you wouldnt work in a place you have no interest in!

    For all of those that say white entitlement doesn't exisit, they just aren't white, rich, and racisit enough. For all of us "super-whites" we have a special ceremony on our 12th birthday where we get our "White Entitlement Card." It gets us into to whatever school we want, exclusive clubs, and even a seat in the Senate. A representative from Big Oil even comes and fills up our SUVs that we got from our white friend that owns the car dealership that uses illegal mexican labor. You even get 5 "get out of jail free" times, they punch the card though so it sucks when you get to #6 and have to go to low security club-med type prison.

    I can't explain the rest right now, one of my servants just informed me that my favorite endangered species platter is ready for lunch.
