Resigned from my job for blatant racism last week. Been a contingent worker for 6 months. The manager that recruited me unfortunately left after a couple weeks and went to another company. She however recommended me for the permanent opportunity to higher management. The acting manager came in, permanent role was posted, I applied, interviewed……manager told me they chose someone else external for the role. I could sense the manager had no intentions to hire me permanently

Where’s is the racism?

likesmart

Op didn’t get what they want so obviously they are prejudiced and it has nothing to do with op’s competence or tendency to jump to conclusions

as during the interview she took zero notes!

I never take notes when I interview people? I find it looks rude and limits the natural flow of the conversation.

I have literally never taken notes during an interview. I distracts me. I tried once and I found I was concentrating too much on what I was writing and was missing the conversation. Curious to know how this encounter manifested as racist. Not saying it wasn't, just curious to know what happened.

I guess what I'd follow up to say is that I've also interviewed for positions before where it was clear I was a courtesy interview or they already had a candidate chosen. But I'm not a POC, so it clearly wasn't a race issue. Is there a history of racism with this manager? Sorry you went through this. Those interviews where you feel like you're wasting your time are the worst.

You were recommended for the role, but that doesn’t mean it will happen. It’s pretty standard to post a role internally and externally and then take that interview process seriously—from the other side, it wouldn’t be fair to put external candidates through the process if they already had a shoo-in internally.

I’m sorry about any racist factors that may have come into play. That’s wrong and shouldn’t happen.

I'm currently in a process for senior associate at a Big4. The process began on July, yet between the first and second interview it took like 3-4 weeks. And between the 2nd and 3rd like 7 weeks. I sent an email to HR during those weeks asking for an update and didn't have an answer. Then it a 3rd one was scheduled three times (the manager didn't connect to the first 2) and next week I have the last interview with 1 partner. Is the timing normal? Or were they looking for other candidates or what?

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year.

I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
