For the first time ever, I ran into a workamping situation where they would not consider my application until I attached both a picture of me and my rig. They also claimed thew weren't making a decision for 10 more days.
It started out with me sending an enthusiastic letter of inquiry, to make sure the position was still available. I hate just sending off my detailed personal information to unknown sources. I listed the reasons why I thought I would be a prefect fit for the situation advertised. A lady wrote back acting very interested, also asking for my resume, references and the required pics.
A few days later, I had the pictures made and sent off my application with 8 days remaining. My experience was perfect for the workamping job advertised, so I was expecting to hear back from them at the end of the 8-10 days.
Instead, they immediately shot back a canned reply that the position had been filled. Apparently they didn't wait the 10 days.
I felt like I lost the beauty contest, either with my face or my rig.
Luckily I found workamping elsewhere that didn't require up front pics.
Is this picture requirement a new method for discriminating against age and race?
Since I haven't been back in America that long, I really have no idea what the latest discrimination techniques are.
I am just curious what other experienced workampers think about this picture requirement.
