Ok well first off I guess you guys need some background info. One of my ex g/f is now dating my cousin. Yes its weird and messed up but you need to know this to understand the following.
Hi, well about 3 weeks ago I applied for a local job at sonny's. I took a menu test and they were suppose to call me back and tell me my score weather I passed or failed. Well two days went by and no one called so I called them. They said it takes a while sometimes and will call me back within a week. Well they never called, so I said 4get it and went and got a diff. job. Well my cousin tells me the other day that sonny's didn't even bother calling me back because "my ex worked there and it'd cause a distraction." Now I havn't talked to the ex. yet to see if the restaurant management actually told her those exact words but I seriously doubt my cousin would make it up. My question was I was just wondering if an employer could reject to review an possible employee's application based on this??

Personal contacts are everything in business and if you have a bad one, it can kill you chances of working for that company despite everything else. Unless you can prove they didn't hire you based on race, religion, gender, age, or in some cases, sexual orientation, you don't have a case. It sucks for you, but it is perfectly legal.

No, absolutely not. I was a manager at a hotel restaurant, alot of employees would have their friends or boy/girl friends apply, and as long as they passed all the tests I'd hire them. In fact, I never had any employee drama, if that place is an equal opportunity employer, and you passed the tests, and were properly qualified, they should have hired you at. If that was the only reason they gave you, then you should write a strong worded letter to that restaurant's higher management, like cooperate, a new employee's application is to be reviewed without bias it's the LAW!

I visited New Orleans for hurricane katrina w/ the pink bypass and together as i became into there I had the main wonderful food! For sushi inspect Ninja. easily superb. I in no way tried sushi and ive been hooked ever on condition that. I additionally won't have the ability to get the calamari out of my head from Bourbon St. eating place. Supercalafragalisticexpialidocious (thats the way it made me experience) i'm now back in maryland and that i've got some favorites right here besides. Carraba's Italian grill (astounding grilled salmon) Adam's Ribs (they communicate for themselves) and Mezzanates- a italian eating place with banging filet mignon and delicous beverages. Tiramasu is to die for besides. =]

An employer cannot discriminate because of many things; age, race, religion - lilke that.
Howver, an employer has the right to make sure that his business and his employees are free from tension and questionable behavior. In many companies, and employee isn't even allowed to date another employee. So, he has the right to deny you employment for that reason and any others that don't violate the law.

Sorry but I believe they have the right to not hire anyone they choose- It does seem wrong to me too though. You do have the right however to ask them for a reason that they have not considered you- make them squirm a bit- give the management a call- be professional just ask them why you were not considered.

If you really think you need that specific job, no he can't. But does he really want to hire someone who has conflicts with another employee? Not really.

yes they can, if they believe you could be an issue for any reason, they can not hire you for any reason they wanted except for those rights of protected class, age, race, sex and the such

yes. why not start a problem before it starts. She may have told the she was uncomfortable with it, so they wanted to avoid a problem

they have a point, but it's wrong if they just judged you by your surroundings not by your own talent and personality.
i suggest you sue them :)
