I applied for a sales advisor position with a furniture company who are opening a new store locally.
I'm more than qualified for the job, have a proven track record in customer services and turned up looking presentable and was articulate throughout the interview.
I never heard a word.
I've just emailed the recruiter pressing for feedback and had an immediate response - like wihtin minutes!! - with the standard response of "stronger candidates on the day, nothing I did wrong "
Now the reason I'm pressing the matter is that during the interview they asked me a lot about how my family would affect me doing the job.
Seriously the first question was whether I was married and had children. They also pushed the matter in terms of going away for training and working weekends etc.
So, question is, how do I word it so I can say "I think you're discriminating against me" without just saying it. Or do I just say it?!
I was looking to go with
"Thanks for the prompt response. The reason I'm requesting specific feedback is that I felt the line of questioning revolved around my family committments and not my ability to do the job. "
Thoughts?
