She agreed and donated a gorgeous £5,000 frock. She also offered some of Max and Emme's clothes, telling organisers that she never lets them 'repeat' outfits. But the auction deals only in adult clothes. Jennifer told them it was a shame, as some items cost over Û1,000 (£500) each."</em><br /></blockquote></em>LaKeshiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05438678009354911168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226875860081251615.post-6232974150992415902008-07-14T11:55:00.003-04:002008-07-14T11:58:23.074-04:00Mary J.

The process I want to talk about today is the job application process. Over the years, I have come to think that applications are a cleaver way to discriminate against people because of the questions that are asked and the information that is needed to complete the application.<br /><br />If everyone was truly given a chance at equal opportunity you would not have to answer questions such as "have you ever been convicted of a felony or have you ever plead guilty to a crime." If you answer "yes" to these questions, over 95% of the time you will not get a call back. Why does it matter if a person has made a mistake in life? Does he/she have to be punished forever and not be able to return to the workforce or be financially able to take care of their responsibilities? In order to have an equal opportunity, these discriminatory questions need to be omitted from an application.<br /><br />The other discriminatory question that need to be omitted from an application is clubs &amp; organization affiliation. The answer to this question will cause the employer to show favoritism to the applicants. For instance, if the employer and I are members of the same fraternity, then there will be a greater chance that I will get the job versus a non-member.<br /><br /><div align="right">Originally Written By CleverCountryMan</div>LaKeshiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05438678009354911168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226875860081251615.post-88398081349172086772008-07-12T09:25:00.002-04:002008-07-12T09:28:54.648-04:00Jennifer Hudson's Album Cover<p align="center"><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_CZQHnNORSV8/SHixaKxmvXI/AAAAAAAAElU/UPrlxnBFV2o/s1600-h/jhud.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222118831063219570" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_CZQHnNORSV8/SHixaKxmvXI/AAAAAAAAElU/UPrlxnBFV2o/s400/jhud.jpg" border="0" /></a></p>Here is <span style="color:#663366;">Jennifer Hudson's</span> self-titled album cover which is due late September!
