Un-equal Opportunities
This is true - although it sounds like a joke:
I noticed an advertisement on the notice board at work for a job this week - something to do with Marketing.
Two of the requirements are:
This all seems perfectly normal...
But then at the bottom of the ad they've added a statment that reads:
"Should you wish to have a copy of this advertisement in a different format (e.g. braille) please contact Mrs Smith" (name changed to protect the not-so-innocent)
Firstly, I'm none too sure if a braille reader would have a keen eye for detail, or make such a good driver.
But also - if somebody did need a braille copy, then how would be able to read the original ad in the first place to know they could get a version in braille??
I'm thinking of going in with a white stick and sunglasses and applying for the job - just to see the look on their faces!

Two of the requirements are:
- A keen eye for detail
- A full driving license, as the job entails driving
