Does this sound like age discrimination to you?

Category: Other

Darren DDarren D


I applied for a role as a salesperson.

No formal qualification requirements were stated for the position. The employer initially replied that other applications had more suitable qualifications and experience for the position. I enquired as to what those qualifications were. The recruiter then did a back flip and answered that this was a junior level position and that I was overqualified due to having experience above and beyond the level required.

Does this sound like age discrimination to anyone?

It is almost impossible for an individual to prove age discrimination.

It would have been impossible for a black applicant to a Korean boss to prove racial discrimination, but that was what I saw 20 years ago.

It sure looks like they did not want you under any circumstances.

Could be so.

Good luck.

Hmmm, I think he was tryin to let you down easy. He prolly feels that it wouldn't work---may not.

Still, you aren't gonna be abel to prove anything----Keep lookin, Sorry.
