Agreed! I recently took my photo off of my LinkedIn and I decline the questions regarding my race. I'm certain that my race is the issue. I'm waaaay too qualified.

Facts!! Had 30 interviews since January and I already have a good job. It’s tough. Normally I find a job within two weeks at a Director level.

I literally got told I didn't get picked for an hr role because of my "appearance and presentation" at the start of the summer. Someone related to the founder/CEO got the job.

I had rounds of interviews and submitted references and got a message saying they had no reasoning behind me not being selecting. That was the exact words from the recruiter 😭

We shouldn’t have to play all these games to get a job, it’s ridiculous. Unemployment rate is entirely too high but all these jobs are available??? It doesn’t make sense

It is so funny- you MUST be on top of the process in the interview but also cannot come off as needy or like you don’t have options.

I JUST read a post yesterday where a black woman was clearly qualified and the best for the role. Even her candidates chose her as who they would work with. It’s insane! I will keep this in mind and move accordingly. Thank ya!

It’s pure luck now. They are getting dozens of qualified applicants and are choosing who looks like them and who they want to work with

I always look up things about the company and ask a few questions regarding the role or company. Sometimes, you can have the qualifications but if you don’t seem interested they aren’t interested in pursuing you. I’m not saying this for all but some are like that.
