A sexual minorities support group has launched a job hunting website to help students discover which employers are proactive on issues specific to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender staff.

Information that the LGBT Shukatsu website offers includes the names of companies that hold recruitment seminars specifically for LGBT applicants and which offer appropriate in-house training. It also has a section in which LGBT workers share their experiences of job hunting and appraise their current workplaces.

The support group, called ReBit, says the jobs market is intimidating for some LGBT students, as they may be unsure which gender to declare when submitting their resumes and whether to wear male or female office dress to an interview. Many wonder to what extent they should disclose their sexuality during the recruiting process.
