I didn't get the job because I am caucasian/white. Your thoughts.

I think this is common, it has happened many times with me also. I do believe that the employer gets a government kickback if they hire a so called minority. I know the police forces are big on minorities. Where I live now if you don't have connections your not getting a job because of the economy. I have been unemployed for three years now and its getting worst. I don't even get rejection notices anymore. Goo luck, try to keep the faith.

I had been doing a long term temp assignment since July 2010 and did an outstanding job. When I was contacted by the agency in July they told me there was a high probability that if I was successful in the position it would go full time.

I did an outstanding job for this company and received numerous compliments from my boss, clients and other upper management about how "outstanding" I was, complimenting my performance, work ethic, punctuality, etc. I was never sick, was a key holder and completely reliable. It was a very demanding position in an office that was incredibly busy, so busy in fact they expanded and added another floor in the building so I was running back and forth (client services) at a mad pace throughout the time I was there. I set up the offices on the second floor singlehandedly as well and received accolades for it. I was covering for a person who went out early with pregnancy complications until she had her child. Upon her return, I remained as the business was booming. My boss managed to work an additional position into the budget and get it approved so there was the slated full time, permanent position, however it was approved to begin in Feb 2011.

I was told I had to apply for the job like any person would, through their website. The position was opened internally first with a week deadline and after that it was posted on the job sites on the internet. My temporary assignment ended the second week of January 2011 and I applied after the internal applicant deadline has passed as no one had applied within the company for a transfer. Last week I had a telephone interview with the HR dept, submitted everything that was necessary and requested. Lots of brass had recommended my employment including several part owners of the company.

Then... nothing... until my boss (a caucasian woman) wrote me an email yesterday telling me they had hired someone else, a person with a latino/mexican name. I was shocked. There is not one person in HR who is white and they make the decisions for employment. My boss told me she was "sorry."

I am unsure what to think at this point in time. I had performed "stellar" in my duties and was totally loyal and reliable, never sick once, so many positive things about my performance. THey even called me back to work two days a week after my assigment had ended because of someone had taken two vacation days and they just happened to be the the two busiest days of the month.

Don't want to type a book, but I am curious as to what you all think about this. Is white the new minority? I feel I have been discriminated against no doubt, I was already doing the job for so long and so well for them.

My bosses boss was black and she didn't seem to want to get to know me, just had me do things like call cabs for her, etc. She worked out of the same office as HR. There was already a "minority" in our office who was a Malcom X follower and it seemed that she had a sister type relationship with the boss of my boss.

I am not racist and have always been that way. I just cannot believe I was encouraged to apply for this position, basically lead to believe the technicality to apply was what exactly that, the position was basically created to add me to the office and HR (offsite office in another state) proceeded to hire a non white person after I had been working it for so long and so well for them.

Where I am is still the worst in the US for jobs so this isn't a time I can easily just find another position. I am rather devastated.

THanks for your input. Peace.

I thought about composing a very thorough letter to the part owner who recommended me but don't want to appear wacky or crazy but for more informative reasons. For me it would get some clarity, I just need to know why this happened. What do you think? Since I was working with him quite often. I am not out to create any firings either, I just want some solace about it. Or do I just let it go and accept survival mode again....it sucks.

I mean the guy thought I was already working there permanently.

i guess all of my info fell on deaf ears?

Sounds too me like you were the weak link in the office and simply needed to be eliminated, you can turn it into a discrimination thing if you want.

here is a bolshevik communist law firm teaching corporations on how to put fake ads in the sunday papers. this filthy sob from the enemy combatant firm of Cohen & Grigsby clearly states his goal of avoiding hiring AMERICANS!!!

can you believe that even after these filthy commies were busted that nothing happened to them? people.. they hate our guts... they want us 'neutralized'.

good ole lawrence m lebowitz... hates his country and her people. what a filthy filthy commie, he has no shame.

watch him:
WTF!!!!!!!LEBOWITZ COHEN AND GRIGSBY!!! the specter of the jew rears its ugly head once again,
but they're gods chosen people!
you might want to look at the bible like a fake ad here as well religitards,this tribe of scum is a plague on the planet

My advice is to move on. There is nothing you can do about it except make yourself miserable...then you won't get anywhere because you are dwelling in the PAST.

Bullshit, bring some skills to the table and employers will fight over you no matter what you look like. And pay well too.
