  1. Imagine you are a hiring manager of a big 4-star hotel. Every week, you get many applications for only 1 or 2 positions at the front desk of the hotel. Would you want to request the following information from your applicants? Why or why not? • Gender

  2. Hiring Scenarios Discuss the scenario on your card and answer the questions below: • How does it make you feel? • Does it exhibit discrimination and, if so, against which group? • Would you apply for this job? • Would you patronize this store or restaurant if you knew this was part of their hiring practices?

  3. Scenario 1 A cosmetic company wants to hire a salesperson for a department store. The manager will only hire someone under the age of 25 because his or her skin will look better.

  4. Scenario 2 A new American restaurant is hiring a hostess/host. They will only hire people who are white and speak English so customers can understand them.

  5. Scenario 3 A bowling alley is hiring someone to hand out shoes. The manager will not hire a deaf applicant because he will then have to also hire someone to help interpret for her.

  6. Scenario 4 A busy restaurant is hiring a dishwasher. The manager wants to hire a Mexican worker because Mexicans typically work hard.

  7. Reflection Question • Should businesses be allowed to hire based on an image or message they are trying to promote?
