Re: The Feeling of a Job Rejection..
I’ve heard that as well…but is the employer really going to tell someone that:
“Look…I didn’t hire you because you’re overweight and unattractive…I didn’t hire you because you remind me of annoying Aunt Agnes…I didn’t hire you because you bear an uncanny resemblance to my ex wife…I didn’t hire you because you have a lisp…I didn’t hire you because your accent is irksome…I didn’t hire you because I don’t like brown people or white people of your race…I didn’t hire you because I am required by some company law to interview x number of people and I already know who I’m going to hire but you’re just wasting your time but fulfilling a quota for me…I didn’t hire you because you’re too young/old and if I told you that would that it would fall under age discrimination…I didn’t hire you because I’m just having a bad day and I don’t fee like interviewing you and somehow I’m just not feeling the chemistry…I didn’t hire you because even though you had a strong GPA and recommendation letters, I think you graduated from a really inferior university…I didn’t hire you cuz you moved from the south and I don’t much like them Southerners…I didn’t hire you because during the interview I could tell that you don’t have the right skills and you probably won’t know squat if were to take you aboard, I didnt hire you because you’re white and I’m supposed to get more minorities to diversify my staff, etc…bla bla bla bla bla.”
***What if the employer is the type to pick someone who is truly skilled as opposed to just attractive because he doesn’t want to waste time or money?
***What if the employer (let’s say it’s a woman) doesn’t hire an applicant simply because the applicant is far more prettier…and jealousy is the reason for the rejection here?
Attractiveness is subjective and I’ve seen unattractive people in various professions. I’ve seen average looking people…who really carry themselves well…(in terms of dressing professionally, body language, social interactions, confidence)…in the work place. You’ll get a job…when and where you’re destined to get one.
