I just had the biggest Shocked and saddest Shocked I have had in ages.
I see that they are looking for teachers at Handong University. Or, as they call it at their website God's University. I thought, wow. PTL. This university, which I have long heard is one of the top ones in the country and is a Christian university has openings. I was so much looking forward to applying to their school. Then I looked at the application form.
Three of the questions were:

1. Height

2. Weight

3. Hair color

What is this world coming to? The last school in this country that I thought would worry about such things is the ONLY one that askes such questions.

Is God really going to hire me or not hire me due to my hair color?

Does God think I am too fat to be a good teacher?

Does God think I am too short to be a good teacher?

Does God think I am too tall to be a good teacher?

I imagine what God thinks is how shameful that University is to consider such things as a part of the application process.

SHAME ON YOU HANDONG UNIVERSITY

Could you post a link to the ad? It would be fun to spam them with ridiculous replies and see how they respond to things like 'experienced teacher, MA in linguistics and CELTA, very devout Christian, 155cm, 95kg, black greying hair' and see how they reply.

Perhaps if you grown a long beard and long hair, wear a toga or robe and look reaaaallllly compasionate in your picture you chances of getting hired would increase.

You could imporve your chances by taking the picture at a dinner with 12 other guys who all look at you...their eyes filled with filial love.
