Actually it could be yeah no matter who one is and how one is, if you are applying for a Job. But it is not in this country. So, what would happen if applications would be in the future, anonymous? So if you were spotted without the indication of Name, age, gender, place of birth and a photo?

In the USA, Canada or Belgium are anonymised applications already the Norm. And German companies, to keep something to yourself, make the also so.

The taz reported on several occasions about such cases. If the names and images would not be so known: Problem solved. Or don't you?
