Yes, its totally depend on the open position or nature of work. We have to consider this.
It never happens to me . I even never think about it before. But yes, it might happen If somebody apply for indoor sales position or front line position for sure the over weight will effect his/her performance or image. So we have to take this into consideration
sometimes some jobs , requier some certain looks . it depends on the nature of the job .
yes ... and actually it depends on the natural or the environment of the position that you want to hire him \\ her in
Hi
It should not if the person concerned is not too much overweight.
A medical check is part of the recruitment process. if a person is physicaly fit he/she should be hired.
But yes for indoor sales jobs or that of a air host/hostess ones figure is ones asset. Here one cannot afford to be overwiight. This is also true in the hospitality industry. Also if you are a news reader , tv anchor you need to watch your weight.
i believe we have to stick to qualifications and requirments.i have never based my decision on colour,ethnicity,weight,gender...etc.
as a professional you are looking for the best qualified candidate for the job.i will look for qualifications and attitude .
Yes I do agree with you. I want to give an examle, few days back when I was an interview board two members were marking highest comparatively to me. However, he was not enough competent as my evaluation but we did not have alternative suitable candidate. For that reasons, he was finally selected so that other interviewer bad marking hamper to choose the right people to the ight job.
In some jobs the over weight may be compensated (Like in management roles, supervision, etc) but in others where agility, swiftness, promptnessand flexiblity is important (e.g Technical or labour jobs etc.) the weight must be an important consideration.
