Filipinos Discusses Job Qualification Differences in the Philippines and Canada
Numerous Filipinos have compared the differences in job qualifications between Potato Corner in the Philippines and Canada.
Over the past few days, the food franchise giant Potato Corner becomes the headlines of several local news outlets and social media pages over a job posting requiring applicants to have attractive physical appearance.
The company posted a set of qualifications for job applicants that is similar to the standards of a beauty pageant. The firm requires applicants to have a ‘good set of teeth’ and proportional weight to height.
The netizens criticized the food business for the requirements, which were too much for a service crew.
Eventually, the popular snack brand has issued a public apology over the job posting. The company expressed regret to the reported insensitive job posting and ensure that such incidents will not happen again.
Recently, the Facebook account “Khlevin, set, go” shared a comparison of job requirements between Canada and the Philippines. The post garnered a variety of reactions from the online community.
The unconventional criteria outlined in the advertisement prompted many to draw comparisons between the qualifications set by Potato Corner in Canada and those in the Philippines.
According to reports, the brand provided employment opportunities in Canada without specifying any particular physical characteristics. Netizens were puzzled as to why there appeared to be a variation in employment requirements between the two countries.
