Discrimination STILL happening at Abercrombie?
|
I'm definitely not one to usually use the "race card" but heres my story.
I applied for a job at AF, and got an interview for the next day. It was only me and another girl. I thought the interview went well, and I got all the questions "right". I was confident and relaxed. The girl seemed to stumble throughout and feigned interest in the whole thing, in my opinion.
Anyway, I hadn't heard anything in a few days, so I called and my interviewer claimed he didn't hire ANYONE that day because it turns out they weren't hiring (???). However I was friends with the other girl on facebook and asked, and infact she DID get the job.
I had more work experience (she had none), better grades, had completely open availability, did better on the interview (imo), had gone to college longer, and ultimately didn't get hired. Not only this, the interviewer was trying to hide this fact.
What do you guys think? Should I do something?, or am I being paranoid?
Additional Details
I am asian, the other applicant was white.

she is better looking than you. the clothing industry is a shallow one. it doesnt take much skill to fold clothes so your experience probably didnt mean much. she is eye candy. get over it lol

what race are you and what race is she?? it's really quite possible that they discriminated based on your race or looks.. with a store as stuck up as that, i wouldn't be surprised.. the funny thing is, i bet the ceo is butt a$s ugly lol you should either pursue it and report it, or move on with life and try to find another job.. you could try talking to the hiring person's boss and tell them the story and see what they say..

Ummm.... it's totally discrimination, but I really believe it might be down to looks. AF is known for looks, so you have to be super hot. Well at least in the interviewer's eyes, and how well you hit it off. People interpret things differently so who knows. I would just look elsewhere. Good luck!

Could or could not be based on the fact that you are asian and she was not.
Maybe they just needed someone to work in the women's side, I have never seen a man working the floor of Abercrombie on the female side.
Maybe the hiring manager was uncomfortable telling you that they hired the woman who interviewed when you did instead of you.
Maybe you didn't come across as well as you thought you did in the interview?
Could be discrimination, how would any of us know here? Good luck in your job search.
