When applying for permanent work it's worth giving companies the chance to mark off a few more diversity boxes..
Indeed. The best way to 'tick all the boxes' is to, quite literally, tick all the boxes. You won't get the job, of course, because even the slowest HR goon will eventually notice that you're taking the piss. You can have fun though, wondering how long it took for them to realise you can't be a transgender woman and a non-binary pan-sexual man at the same time. Although if they refused your application on those grounds, you could tear them a new one at the tribunal (although you'd need a very bent doctor with a vivid imagination, not to mention a lawyer with a good sense of humour).
Am I getting old (stop laughing at the back) or has the world gone mad?
His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

Its all about Diversity & Inclusion in the perm world.
Never seen it considered or mentioned in the contracting world.
