'That kind of felt the world was going to be different because of my age.' A woman who was asked her age during an interview for a role as a Domino's Pizza delivery driver has said she 'felt a loss' at not being offered a job.
A woman who was asked her age during an interview for a job as a Domino's Pizza delivery driver has received an apology and a financial settlement.
She took a discrimination case against the Strabane franchise and its owner at the time, Justin Quirk.BBC News NI has contacted Mr Quirk for a response but has yet to receive a reply.She said the interviewer wrote her answer before circling it and saying: "You don't look it."Ms Walsh later found out she had not been successful in her application for the role."I believe my age was an issue and it had affected the decision made by the interview panel.
In a later conversation with another Domino's Pizza employee, Ms Walsh was told the nature of the work tended to suit younger people, between 18 and 30 years old."I've only ever seen men working as drivers and I think I was overlooked for a driver position because I am a woman," she said.
"It's really important not to allow stereotypical views of who can do particular jobs to influence decisions."
