After graduating from college with a bachelor's degree in business administration,Joe sent an email,with his resume attached,to the Media Blitz Company (MBC).In his email,he was only inquiring about an entry level position at the firm.When he found out that MBC had hired two of his classmates who were not of his race,Joe filed a discrimination complaint against MBC under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.Which of the following is true of this scenario?
A) Joe has a good case against MBC because his email was clear that he was interested in the entry level position at the firm, and they did not even consider him.
B) Joe does not have a valid case because employment laws do not permit people to apply for a job via the Internet or related electronic data technologies.
C) Joe does not have a valid case because sending an email inquiry about a job does not qualify the sender as an applicant.
D) Joe would have had a valid case against MBC had he submitted his resume via a third-party job board.

Answer:

C) Joe does not have a valid case because sending an email inquiry about a job does not qualify the sender as an applicant.

Explanation:

Joe after graduating from the college with a degree in business administration, sent an enquiry email with his resume attached to the Media Blitz Company (MBC).

Joe would most likely not prevail in his case because sending an email inquiry about a job does not qualify the sender as an applicant.

As a job seeker, you're expected to send an application for a job position advertised with your resume attached. This would serve as an evidence of interest or desire to work with the organization.

In this scenario, Joe wasn't being discriminated at by the Media Blitz Company (MBC).

Hence, Joe's case against MBC on the ground of discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act becomes an invalid one.
