I was just wondering what views or opinions people have regarding being potentially discriminated against at interviews.
I obviously can't prove it, but based on conversations I have had before attending along with my qualifications and experience it doesn't make sense why I never have success in actually being offered a job. Reasons provided are never that I don't have enough experience etc. but that I'm 'not quite right' for them or similar.
I have come to the conclusion that as decisions are pretty much made on first impression as to whether you are going to be employed, it has become quite obvious to me that judgements are incorrectly being made based on the way I look (naturally very slim and it might look like to them like I am unwell). I now feel completely useless and that I will never get a job, but i would be curious to know if anyone has any thoughts or who may have experienced the same kind of issues themselves or as interviewers. I just feel completely trapped from actually getting a job let alone a career based on incorrect assumptions.
