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.
