I have a very white name and have felt this more times than I can count; going for contracts/temp/Fractional positions, now that I'm at a higher level, roles with former vendors, and remote opportunities have been the only solutions that have worked for me thus far
This is also one of those things where it could be a blessing in disguise. Not trying to be spiritual but what God has for you is for you. If your resume is stellar, you check off all their boxes, and carry yourself with confidence and respect but they still don’t want to hire you it would probably have been a nightmare to work there. They are the ones that are missing out and if you are supposed to be somewhere the right person will see your value.
I try not to do any in person interviews. Even if it’s a perm role. Only the final is In person. If it’s hybrid or onsite. I rather the surprise be over zoom. It can go both ways. I also wasn’t found of the interview energy. Decided not to go further. As a consultant you should be able to choose your interview style,
It is what it is. I've been in many yt circles who are surprised when they see me. Let them be surprised. The question is whether they still engage with you the sane or not. You have to get thicker skin. But if this bothers you a lot I recommend you research the company before you interview and before you apply. There are a lot more companies that value diversity and have inclusive cultures. Look for them. Good luck.
