Have you ever experienced prejudice due to appearance instead of job qualifications?
Yes for me too. Several years ago I went to a job interview. When I got there a guy just looked at me and said that they are still interviewing. When I inquired about the job he didn’t answer my question and just told me again that they are still interviewing. I knew then that my application was going to be tossed because I wasn’t pretty. What an ***?
My first job out of college, I found out that I got hired because I was Hispanic. Apparently they needed more Hispanics in the HR office. That was a miserable job experience too. My supervisor and I did NOT get along.
I have b/c I dared to wear my star of david. our dd has b/c of her size. Just recently, mind you, a dear friend, who was editor of a magazine and used me for a lot of freelance work, we both we told that the publisher’s new wife wanted to concentrate on 20-somethings and he didn’t want him using anyone over 30!
