I was at the RIM job fair in Toronto on moday, and I confronted a RIM
recruiter as to why I constantly get rejected for the positions I apply for,
that I believe I qualified for.
Seems this 20 something fashion model is speculating, forecasting and
pre-judging based on generalizations. Just as it would be unfair for me
label anyone attractive with tight clothes and plastic nails as stupid,
pre-judging based on folklore, it seems RIM recruiters dismiss applicants
like me, feeling that we are overqualified and would get bored after a week
and quit or post out, leaving a vacancy, or would quit because we wouldn't
be happy with the pay (words straight out of the recruiters mouths ).
What a crock of BS. Did anyone even bother to take the time to read and
understand my resume, or chat with me in an interview? Maybe after years of
fast paced corporate competition, some of us prefer to slow things down,
using our amassed skills and experience to do our jobs, at an above average
level, and to make continuous improvements of processes as needed.
Bottom line, it's called Age Discrimination.
Time to work at Wal-Mart.
