So I spoke with a recruiter last week about a position at PwC (they contacted me) we through the phone screen, and she even messaged me with contact info and next steps on who I’ll be interviewing with and when. I send in the application where I put disabled Veteran on last night and I got the auto reject email. You don’t think the DV designation hurt me on the application, do you?

The position was probably closed so it's an auto-reject. Not the first time our recruiting team doesn't align with the hiring manager first... but - it has nothing to do with the DV designation. Just reach back out to the recruiter to let them know.

Ugh I'm really sorry! I am in a totally different industry so I can't speak to what this means exactly but I would follow up/document everything because you should have some legal recourse if that's why there was an auto-reject

If your military experience isn't relevant to the job posting, I'd skip putting it at all...

I have a few lines in my resume about my time in the Corps but it's from leading big projects and being accountable. Those are relevant anywhere.

When I applied to PwC I also listed that I was a disabled veteran. I really don’t see how that could hurt you, there is an entire affinity group at the firm for people with disabilities and other one for veterans. It’s just a very strange market at the moment which makes hiring more difficult

like

Yes I think it was sent in error, seems like an automation thing. It gave me the choice of National Guard/Reservist and Disabled Vet.
I chose disabled vet because of my rating and I figured there would be some hesitation with reservists

like

It should not be for that reason and many times they collect that info to stay compliant with federal regs if they contract with the government, like WC does. It’s generally just a data point collected and no one even sees that you claimed DV status

Being a disabled veteran makes you a part of a protected class, so in the event you can prove that because you checked that box you did not get hired, you could be in for a nice payday.
