Hey MuchLove, I recently graduated from college and received my Bachelor of Science, Business Management. Well I'm job hunting right now until I get my teaching license, to become a business teacher. So I applied at First Virginia (its like a check and go) about 3 wks ago. I past their test and everything I just had to wait for the manager to get to the office and review the application. I've been calling for the past 2 1/2 wks to see if they reviewed the applications yet and they kept telling me no because they were so busy. (The last day I called them was Saturday and they said the manager wouldn't be in until today) So I go in today and ask the same question. She goes to the back says my name pauses then they began whispering. She comes back out to tell me the manager said he review all applicantions and he has already done his interviews and has everbody they need. She goes on by saying maybe you just didn't qualify because you didn't past our test. I said no I past the test. Then she says said oh, oh really??? (Like it was a shock to her) She goes on by saying oh well i dont know why then. Sorry have a good day. I walk out the door and its big yellow sign still in the window "now hiring". So later on I got my boyfriend to call to see if they were hiring and they told him yes they were just come in and do an application. Racism is the only reason I could come up with & I never seen anybody black work there before. But I never really thought about it until today. Although, I know racism is still alive and well it hit me hard because that was actually my first encounter with it. I could be wrong though. Have you ever experienced racism and if so how did you handle it? let her know what you think
