Bank job candidate puzzled on height and weight declaration
SINGAPORE: How would you feel if you were asked to include your height and weight in a job application form? Well, this happened to one job seeker when she applied for a position in the financial industry. She felt it odd enough to speak to Channel NewsAsia.
Amanda (not her real name), who was seeking a managerial post in a well-known bank, said: "The first thought that hit me was that it was quite weird to fill in my height and weight.
"Definitely it was the first time when I submitted an application form for a job that required me to put in those personal physical details. I thought it was quite strange, and I don't know how that will affect my chances of getting the job.
"To put in your height and weight... it may be used to profile a candidate even before (he or she has) a chance to speak with the employer (he or she is) hoping to work for. So it may not be good. If I am a super heavy, 200kg person, I may not be comfortable putting that down. At the back of my mind, I would be thinking it may affect my chance of securing an interview."
