It's why we need protected classes, and laws against discrimination in the first place. | |

But it's much easier to discard a resume, and invent some reason why you did it, than to refuse a candidate at interview stage and invent a reason for that. Plus at an interview you get the chance to show how awesome yours skills really are, and to explain how much easier it is to accommodate your needs than the company thought. | |

| Jun 5, 2019 at 23:57 | comment | added | thursdaysgeek | @JoeStrazzere if you need a job, you don't want to be discarded from any opportunities - that just makes the potential options smaller. And since it is illegal (in the US) for them to do so, why make it easy for them? | |
