What is the name of your state? CA
My wife had applied for a job at PetsMart, she went in for 2 interviews and was told she would be hired after they did a background check, my wife has a felony misdemeanor, she put that on the application. They said they would call her, they did not, so she called them and when she asked about her application they said there was a mistake and there were no job openings at this time. I was confused at this and I told her to find stuff out. Her friend was with her and called PetsMart and asked if there were any job openings in that same job, their answer was "Yes", 45 minutes later my wife called in and asked about her application they still had on file, and if there were any job openings in the same job, they told her "No". Now i understand that they can tell her she is not available for being hired, but are they allowed to tell her there is no job openings when 45 minutes earlier her friend called and there was a job opening and now tell her there is none based on her application she had previously filled out.
Edit: I know they do not have to legally give a reason for not hiring, but can they legally say to one person that there is no job opening and say to another that there is?
