================================================================  

The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to engage in non-discriminatory 
hiring practices. We urge employers not to discriminate on the grounds of race, 
ethnicity, nationality, disability, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation.
However, we have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set 
up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.
