please comment.. i'd really like to know if anyone else has had something that messed up said during a job interview

It may have been a common practice, there is no way that was a policy.

Perhaps... The interviewer's words, actually... On the positive side, though, I did convince them to make an exception. Spent six months there, and had a positive relationship with everyone (including management).

i'd be willing to agree if you can think of something else but the only difference between common practice and policy that i can think of is paper

And that's just it. No company is going to put a practice (that clearly discriminates by race, and is thus illegal) on paper. I'm actually surprised that the interviewer admitted it verbally.

you're right. unless there are witnesses they can say what they want without getting in trouble. i can relate to twsavage. i was turned down for a city job because i was white and they only "hire our own". i'm glad that it worked out for twsavage

I was asked if I knew where Kathmandu was. It was for an intelligence test he made himself. Not really crazy, but sort of weird given it was a job for a junior file clerk.

No, but that would have been awesome!
