the hiring females only doesnt give me bad vibes
but the way they instigated it in this situation to me is raising a lot of flags

firstly they let you apply ~ if they only want females why let you apply
then ring you in to get to a person who hasnt applied ~what arnt they getting enough females apply
or is the trun over of staff high for some reason , but at the same time its like they are relying on the fact your there she gets job so wont leave due to not wanting to seem bad for you

Turn over in staff is high in places like that, and over here we have a law saying it's illegal to hire someone based of gender so I could technically report all the places 

do these places employ any males ? as long as they are hiring males they can hire females for certain jobs
it can be hard to prove they are being gender bias or discriminating in some circumstances
we also have laws like this but a male still couldnt get a job at a womans only gym and other such places

That's really odd then. So many cafes and restaurants got rid of their staff during the lockdowns that you'd think they'd be eager to employ people who answer their adverts.

Sometimes the opposite can be true, not sure your age or experience but often especially with temporary summer work they are looking for young people. Who they can pay a much lower 'minimum' wage and who they will finish by the end of the season. If your older you'd get a higher minimum wage, or might be over qualified for the position. 

that's the annoying part tbh, in Ireland, being 19 means they can still pay me just under the minimum wage, and as I'm only going into my second year of my degree I have no qualifications in anything other then coaching stuff so I really don't understand why absolutely nowhere as contacted back. suppose I'll just have to throw it into everywhere else and hope I have something by the start of July
