I receive wrong emails often. Sometimes they are funny but usually plain boring. I also receive around 5000 spam messages per week.

Today I received the following email from Mobile Shop HR department. They have two job opportunities. The first is something called "Sales Maker" and it seems to be gender specific. The other is called "Net woek Admin" and it requires, among a list of technical stuff, good command of English language.

Language issues aside. Is this sex limitation legal, specially when it is not a job that requires strenuous activity (and shouldn't they leave this for the person to decide)?

Mobile Shop runs 58 branches across Egypt.

    يقولون يا اخ مفطصى ان موبايل شوب مثلها كمثل اى تو

    وكما ان اى تو تشترط عمل الذكور فقط وتقبل الاناث فى وظائف معينة شرط ان يكن مسلمات محجبات
    فلماذا لا تفعل موبايل شوب المثل .؟

    What if it's a woman dressed like a man? Or someone undecided (but who sbekz berfekt engalish?) I feel like I should apply for this in a male name and see how far it would take me, for the hell of it.

    I happens everywhere not only in Mobile shop. And if they didn't state clearly that they need male candidates, they don't call females who apply. And after applying even, sometimes they call women just to show that "hay, we can accept women" but they would refuse us instantly afterwards.. and sometimes refusal because women are veiled..

    At least that happened with me once.. and what made me so sure about it monitoring my class.. and who was accepted and who wasn't..
    You'd hear that talk very often if you asked girls from Engineering..

      Well, thanks for the comments. (both @azza & @lasto)

      @lasto it is a shame that this happens. It is even more annoying when
      it is explicitly mentioned by a supposedly large retailer.
