The Italian
Labour ministry has opened an investigation after a company seeking a female receptionist aged under 30 asked
Job applicants to include a photograph of themselves in a bathing costume alongside documents proving their credentials.
The advert, posted on several specialised job sites by a Naples-based security company, stipulated that the candidate must be female, no older than 30, a fluent English speaker and have their own car and “a sunny character with an attractive appearance”.
