Business sectors you wont work in.

Are there any?

I was once asked to do a contract working for a pharmaceutical company in cheshire which undertook animal testing.

Was told I would be asked if I was in agreement with stuff such as LD50 etc. Decided I wouldnt be able to lie through my teeth just to get the job so declined the interview.

Public sector.

I had real issues with my last client, as I didn't like them or what they did. However, it was a subsidiary of a larger organisation who I was happy to work with - if I'd known all the details, I wouldn't have taken it (and one of the reasons that I turned down the extension on offer).

I went for an interview for missile guidance. I asked my old fella if it was morally right - he told me that if I didn't do it someone else would. Never got that one anyhow.

I was wondering about this a few days ago.

When I first started work, "What sectors won't you work in?" was a common question but I haven't heard it for many years (possiby because I have the MOD on my CV).

They used to double-check:

"What about defence? Animal testing? The fur trade? But what about the nuclear industry?"

There is only one role I have turned down for ethical reasons: it was to put in a system that would make 200 people redundant.

I won't go back to the finance sector: my experience of a fund management company was even worse than suityou01's.

Could made the same argument about selling heroin to schoolkids.

That is how atrocities become possible...

Never got it anyhow, so never a problem.

[NotAllThere]

I won't work for tobacco manufacturers, but mainly because I'd be disowned by my family.

Defence? No problem. ( I worked on some software used in the making of Apache helicopters ).
