So basically, I wasn’t successful after the work interview for an IT role, the dude on the phones tell me
“Tekkip you interviewed well and you have good technical knowledge but we think you’d be best with a bigger team with a better support network”
What is this bullshit? For the record, I’m deaf with hearing aids, this has gotta be grounds for discrimination surely?
Probably dodged a bullet anyway since there’s only 3 technicians and they’re putting a lot of responsibility for the shit payment they’re handing out.
Why? Do they seriously overlook merit because somebody can’t hear well or because they have autism?
Sounds like they think you’re not independent enough for the position. If it is a small team, they might need someone who can immediately start being productive, while they think you will need more coaching to get up to speed.
No need to drag any disabilities into this.
Ding ding ding. This is the exact answer I’d give someone who I didn’t think was independent or self sufficient enough and would require training or additional time and energy from the team that there isn’t time for.
No clue where the disabilities part comes in.
yeah sounds like they think you need mentorship and their team can’t provide that more than anything else. You maybe be knowledgeable but how much experience do you have. It’s very different to knowledge from a book than having experience with adapt to changing technology or dealing with stuff you don’t have any knowledge of. I can’t tell you how many people i had to turn down cause they could pass the cert test but could not walk me through how they would troubleshoot a problem. It was more if it’s this than do this and if we tried to go any deeper than that they kinda froze. Anyone with experience will tell you certs are a great start but they are only 1/3 of what you need.
