This question is to newmom, since you seem to be knowledgeable. My resume was faxed by an employment agency to a brokerage firm. The fax sent to the HR person contained info pertaining to my current salary and what I was seeking. When I went on the interview the HR person seemed surprised that I was a person of color. I filled out an application and my interview lasted only 2 minutes. The HR person did not shake my hand. There was no introduction, she did tell me anything about the position I was suppose to interview for. The only question she asked me was "why was I seeking to leave my current position, since I had not been there very long". Furthermore, she did not allow me to interview with the dept manager, She told me that he was in a meeting (later I found out that was a lie). The HR person promised to reschedule an interview (also a lie).
I had a friend that worked for the company that asked his manager to call HR and find out what happened at my interview. She told the manager that I was asking for too much money! How could that be true, when the agency had faxed over my resume, it had that information on it. When I told the employment agency about the information that I had found out about from my friend, she tried unsuccessfully to contact the HR person. Yet, I found out today that the same HR person is requesting to see more people for the same position.
I never got the chance to be interviewed,yet I'm asking for too much money. I really think that I was discriminated against and I am very hurt by what happened. Didn't I have a right to know about the position I was suppose to be interviewed for. Please tell me what you think about my story. Also, I'm sorry it took so many words for me to express myself. But, I really need to get this off my chest. I have a wife and 3 children and I want to make a honest living like everyone else.
Thank you,
