yeah I see your point! I didn’t think of buses/taxis, dohhh lolEven so, inclusivity needs to be accounted for. Disabled people shouldn’t be stopped at the first hurdle just because they can’t drive, as other posters have said - there are options with transport, taxis etc, and there are other ways to get 100 cans of coke delivered! (Also, what a waste!)
The irony for the first line of this being “If you are driven”I just read through all the comments on that post and I don’t necessarily think Louise is wrong for requiring someone to drive given her explanation of the job... the argument that has broken out is that she’s not being inclusive toward those unable to drive or those With disabilities, then another argument has broken out saying ‘read the job description she has said why She needs someone to drive’
...BUT she’s advertised it wrong IMO because when I first glanced at the post (linked) I thought it was a WFH job, ‘social media assistant’ to me means managing, errrmmmm, her social media... creating posts/captions or graphics, something easily done from home... NOT sourcing props or driving Louise around, to me that just sounds like she wants a glorified PA. And she should have been explicit and upfront about that IN THE POST not hiding it away. That’s why the argument/misunderstanding came about

I’ve worked in social media / marketing for about 7 years since I was 17 and an apprentice. When I started out I did have to go fetch things for campaigns so she’s not wrong. However I’ve never known how to drive and somehow I’ve always managed to get to job done....I’ve just seen this under her social media assistant vacancy post. I too wondered why you would need someone to drive. Louise’s response is so catty and unjustified? It’s just a simple question?? I’m gobsmacked but at the same time not surprised
Would not be surprised if this was the case if I did not see the location part (currently looking for employment due to the pandemic), I would apply myself to see what she was like during the interview process.I don’t get why she’s advertising on her page rather than through more anonymous channels. All she’ll get is a load of shite cvs from fangirls
Yeah but she won't be the one slogging through them, she'll have a minion for that.I don’t get why she’s advertising on her page rather than through more anonymous channels. All she’ll get is a load of shite cvs from fangirls
Ah right, no idea where I got the honeymoon baby from then.In her “draw my life” she said on her wedding day she had a teeny tiny Darcy in her tummy which only her and Matt knew about, so looks like she was conceived a few weeks before the wedding
If you take a look at the Facebook comments then you can see that is EXACTLY who it is attracting... half of them don't even look old enough to be working! I'd hate to be the poor person having to sift through all those CVs.I don’t get why she’s advertising on her page rather than through more anonymous channels.

The UK is very accessible without a car for the most part. We have amazing public transport compared to America and taxis aren’t ridiculously expensive if it was a worst case situation that needed a car. Plus the office she’s in will he most likely in the town or city centre so most things are walking distance anyway!This might be cultural but "must be able to drive" didn't strike me as exclusionary. The US is set up for cars so unless you grew up in a few cities you know how to drive by 16-17. Where she lives in Northampton is fairly suburban yes? So someone who lives there/ moves there for any job would probably need a car and to drive places anyway.
Well the last time she had someone helping her they had soft office meetings in her bedroom soThe UK is very accessible without a car for the most part.

Usually only jobs that need cars are travelling jobs, delivery jobs or jobs where home / office visits are required
How unprofessional, imagine your boss asking you to come sit in their bedroom to do your work so they can lounge in bed all day. I’d quit in my first week.Well the last time she had someone helping her they had soft office meetings in her bedroom so
