Arborist vacancy

[Treerover]

Are you literally this naïve?

I clearly must be…….or you’re not explaining yourself adequately?
You seem to display a certain recidivist attitude

 I don't know for sure this is what retired climber meant but an advert stating "young" would be classed as age discrimination.  I doubt many on here are specialists in employment law, I am not and generally only like to comment when I am confident I know what I am talking about. 

 

However as I understand it potential employees have rights and you could get in grief if an older person applied for the job and they could prove they did not get the job due to their age.

All the young ones are at tree planting.

Knowing some of my “local tree surgeons” it not if they smoke but what they smoke is the problem

You definitely can't exclude old people. 

You absolutely can, otherwise all those Johnson's baby oil adverts would be downright weird/erotic.

I imagine the replies in this thread is a reason a lot of people don't bother posting any more.

The only time this place is busy is when there's an argument going on. If it were not for the small group of very prolific posters, there would be nothing new to read.
