Maybe they should all be fired for their "immoral behavior". I wonder how many of those managers who decided she should be fired have eaten at Hooters in the past year?

I honestly believe she has a case here especially, since she was passed up twice to men with less education and experience.

Sometimes even if you have an excellent credential on your resume, it's about how the upper management will treat you. This is about who makes the decisions in the company.

Especially, if the position was not relevant to the position for which you are applying. We are all taught to that resume's should be a summary of your work and education experience and skills. Including every position you've ever had is not required. No, leaving a position off your resume’ is not the same as falsifying your resume’.

But sex sells, so that's what the article is peddling. But in reality, as both a supervisor and a subordinate, I've seen lotsa games being played, so this article is like most - you need way more information (which admittedly would be too much dry information for most folks to consume) to make any kind of real decision.

I could see an issue here if a prior position was relatively current and directly related to the position of application, but this doesn't sound like that. Reinstate her position, give her some remuneration for the insult, and quit wasting public dollars!!!! Jerry H I’m sure things are probably slow in Iowa during the winter time, but common now!

What does working for Hooters have to do with criminal intelligence analyst position? It has been my past experience to only list experience related to the job you are applying for? The only reason to be denied a position would be if she weren’t qualified for it, it appears that someone in the Company thought less of her and needed to find an escape goat. I hope she wins the case against them, should they stick to their BS story of her falsifying her resume. Her previous employment history has absolutely nothing to do with the current job.

My understanding is that the actual signed application is what is the legal document, not the resume. There also could have been some sort of "morals" clause requiring disclosure, but they didn't indicate that. As it is, I wouldn't expect an applicant to include all irrelevant experience in their application- in fact, I'm frequently dumbfounded when I do see it. I ask, "Why is she telling me this?"

If my resume included all the positions I've had it would be like 5 pages. You only include the work experience that is relevant to the position you are interviewing for. And it's not like working at Hooters is criminal, immoral, or wrong in any way. I hope she wins her lawsuit!
