Working in IT has been a bad decision for me so far. I’m a big black athlete with a geeky side. But for some reason, I get calls from so many jobs and then afterwards they’re like “oh he was great and the interview was great but we went with someone else”. I know people will sit there and say I’m overreacting or making excuses but I’ve already experienced it twice. Interview discrimination that is.
I try my best to stay optimistic and tell myself someone will see what you have to offer on the inside but at this point I have bills to pay and people to take care of. About to just go back to being a personal trainer. Yeah, there the loved to hire big black athletes. Easy selling points for them.
