Is there a full moon this month? What makes people do this?

I am a HR director and although it is not considered the "norm" I like to speak briefly to potential hires before the final hire. I pick names at random. Almost everyone that has came to my office has tried to relate to me on the basis of my race, my sex, or my physical appearance. A huge NO NO! I had a young lady to tell me that she knew that I was going to "hook a sistah up, because black women had to look out for each other" Her resume was beautiful..she blew it. Today, I interviewed a young man brilliant, top of his class, a shoe in. Interview went well. I was actually starting to put his new hire package together when he was sitting there. I told him that I would personally get in contact with him in the next few days. He went off, he told me that because he was white that he did not fit into a quota. He had the job. Why is it that people think affirmative action is "out to get them?" Be honest, look for my responses in details.

A highly competitive job market can make some aggressive and defensive applicants. Besides, being interviewed is very stressful for obvious reasons, and stress and nerves can bring out the worst in some people. Unfortunately, in your position, you don't get the opportunity to converse with these people when they are relaxed and not trying to aggressively sell themselves, or protect themselves from potential rejection.

Reply:Well, we are living in a very false society today. We can't tell it the way it is, or possibly hurt someones feelings, yet gang bangers are out there killing people. Are we going the way of Rome??


I hope we don't fall..
