I know that attaching a photo to a resume is standard practice in Austrian business dealings, but in this case it sure seems unnecessary and problematic.
Norman, the first part of the last paragraph reads: “The Vienna State Opera aims to increase the number of women [in the orchestra] and therefore expressly requests qualified women to apply”.
Not quite the same as “Women may apply”.
Norman, are you referring the the Vienna State Opera Orchestra? You seem to be unaware that one of their concertmasters, since 2008, is a woman. Her name is Albena Danailova. this is not a news flash. And that women can apply is not a news flash either. Women have been able “to apply” for years now. As far as the article is concerned, I’m not sure why you didn’t translate it into English since this is not a German speaking blog, so I’ll just stick with the sensationalist title.
The Staatsoper appears to be bulging at the seams in the picture above. Perhaps it is already filled to capacity. 🙂
That’s too funny…you are right! :p
