My sister has been in the IT industry for over 7 years and now, she is planning to apply for Cisco jobs in her area. I could not help but teased her that it was about time that she leaves her current company, as they are not exactly paying her good money. She said that she waited this long so that she has enough experience in the IT industry to apply for a job with Cisco. She has been busy searching for a job online and recently, she had filled in an application form as well as sent in her CV to Cisco. She is still waiting for them to give her a call to inform her of her interview time. She is rather nervous because it has already been 5 days, and she has not received a call at all. I had to remind her that she was not the only one that had applied for the job.

Many people have different varied beliefs. This must not be hampered once one is in the workplace. It is a good thing that religious discrimination is now considered illegal in the workplace.

There must also be reasonable accommodation at least attempted on the part of the employer as long as it does not entail a major economic adjustment. Worship days of an employee must also be respected. An employer cannot use an employee’s worship days as a reason not to hire him or her. At least there are many employment lawyers who have a lot of expertise in dealing with these kinds of cases and are therefore very good at handling different employment situations and conflict. Discrimination may be one thing that cannot be helped but at least, citizens can take comfort in the fact that they have something to defend themselves if they are in need.
