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.

Not to be an ass--because I don't know you and you haven't given me a reason--but is it possible they just didn't like you for some reason?

I mean, experience or no, a lot of employers go on what kind of "vibe" they get from a candidate, and whether they would want to work with that person.

Yeah, and if that "vibe" was, 'I am oppressed by the gays because I'm straight' you probably won't do so well with their clientele or other employeess.

if that's your "vibe", you probably don't do so well in LIFE.

Oh, well played, sir!

There are other possibilities, too. Perhaps they'd just filled the spot before the OP came in for the interview, but didn't have time to cancel the interview? Perhaps they were worried an employee would leave and a slot would open up, so they interviewed the OP but didn't end up having the opening?

FWIW, I have a friend who's straight and worked there. It's not that.
