Martin, 58, is sitting in a conference room being interviewed for a job. It is all going well, but then one interviewer asks how old he is, as his date of birth wasn't indicated on his resume.
Martin refuses to give his age - he states that his age is not an indicator of whether he can do the job well, but his work experience,knowledge and strong references should be what proves his abilities.
Martin does not get the job. A friend who works in the organisation tells him that they employed a 25-year-old female because they felt a 'younger person with a soft approach' would be best for the position.
z) Answer the following questions about Martin's situation.
1)What breach has the workplace committed?
? What could be the consequences of this scenario?
? What do you think would be the impact on Martin in this situation?
