out of curiousity, serious question

Do you need to be homosexual to work at Diesel?

The story:
I need a night job, and my options are limited. I've tried to apply for Diesel in the past, got as far as the interview stage. But never heard back, I did follow up but got the run around.

Now first I thought that my having to much coffee shop experience may have turned them off, or even my not having a friend that works there may have effected me.

So before I look into applying again, I would like to know if my being straight effects my chances of being hired.

Thanks

Sorry if this offends anyone.

To be fair, I don't think she's a troll. I think she's someone who doesn't understand why she didn't get a job because she doesn't know that most of the time, when you apply for a job in an employers' market, you don't get it. And I think many people are made uncomfortable in a place where, for the first time, their sexuality or gender expresssion is not normative, so they find it difficult to see the difference between "I am not the norm here" and "these people hate me".

See her comment below.

Now take this spear and help me get her back under McGrath.

Hmm. Point taken. I withdraw my assumption of well-meaningness.

I also know her from

b0st0n...let's just say this post is entirely in character.

Thanks?
I'll take this as a compliment

No comment.

Icon love! That is so fabulous! :)

*g* Thanks. I have to stop myself from filling up my icon quota with all Girlyman all the time. Even my fannish icons are mostly Girlyman lyrics.

*flails fangirlishly*

Its more like if they didn't want to hire me just tell me your not interested, I'll move on. Since I got the run around, since I have gotten no answers I am left frusterated and still looking for a night job.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, welcome to life. Employers who like you get back to you. Employers who don't, won't.

When they didn't hire you, they gave you an answer. It was "we're not interested."

In any event, good luck on your search. Remember that there are offices that have night receptionists, etc. as well.

Thanks, I'll definately look into that too

Unfortunately, most employers are lazy, and the only way you find out if you didn't get a job is because you don't hear back.

Personally, I hate when employers do it, but it's just how many of them operate - it's fairly rare to hear back from somewhere if you didn't pass the sniff test.

yeah, that is very bad manners but I'm afraid it's the norm these days.

ICON LURVE

*shares Giryfannish glee*

BTW, I just checked out your LJ and saw that your icon you use here was credited to "who made this?" So, er, hm, *shyly raises hand*
