Roy of the Rovers Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 As we try and encourage more females to participate in our sport, disappointing (and illegal) that PAFC are only offering this position to "guys". There are a lot of females who meet the qualifications for this position and should be encouraged to apply not excluded. Particularly disappointing this message comes from the "Head of Community". Guess Mr Lovell only represents the male half? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-chairman Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Am I missing something because it looks open to all and clearly states they are Equal Opportunity Employers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Possibly because it starts off "Hi Guys"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt george Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 They might struggle to fill the post with a salary range of £18-21k for a full time management role. An NQT starts on £23k. An experienced BTEC tutor probably at least £25k ? The job spec also lists: curriculum design, recruitment and retention responsibilities as well as line managing a staff of coaches. http://jobs.cornishman.co.uk/document/ec0b5928-0f7b-43bf-9b1a-e4a87f11c677.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruegel the Elder Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 I note that ex-chairmans comment on "Guys and Gals" has been deleted, either by himself or an over enthusiastic moderator. The term Guys has indeed become generic, in relating to both (all) sexes since the aforementioned line was a catchphrase used by a well known, now thankfully deceased, D.J./paedophile! I note that the ad has now been edited to read "Hi Guys (and Girls, of course)". I'm not sure if this compounds the error or not, how many women with the qualifications/experience required would appreciate being referred to as "Girls"?

How the hell did we get to the stage when we greet both sexes as guys ! This is one of the things I hate about the age we live in now. My seemingly offensive definition was taken from a Dictionary but I bow to the superior wisdom of my critics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WendronOfficial Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Heard a tv personality calling a female contestant 'mate' last night! That made me cringe a bit - but each to their own. I have to admit that I am guilty to using 'guys' as a collective noun to refer to a group of people. I haven't had any protests or complaints as yet... I think it has become one of those terms that's meaning has changed slightly with the world we live in. I am sure that the poster meant no offence or exclusion to females by using the term. I think it was just an informal way of getting attention - looks like 'they' (male or female) certainly got that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
