This will not be an uplifting post! In fact.....frustrated, sad and poor are not a good combination. I just had another interview where they asked me about my voice... what is with these companies. Do they not know they are not suppose to ask these type of questions. It is very frustrating, of course, I politely say this is my voice and try to end it there. But noooooo, they always have to ask what happened or have you always been this way .....ok what am I suppose to say "YOU CAN'T ASK ME THAT, it is discriminatory" like that is going to get me the job. So I come home all upset, people say you can SUE, like I have the money for that, RIGHT!... and most of these companies that ask these questions are small companies (like I want to be the women that puts them out of business) All I want is a job and I know I can do the work they put out there for me. If they would just give me a chance.
Now it is very possible that I didn't get these jobs for other reasons, however, I have know way of knowing. I just figure that my voice plays a part in that and if they bring it up it must be some type of concern. Am I right. I guess it is just interesting I never have considered myself disabled but maybe I am. But really the only problem is I can't YELL. So really is that a disability? I wouldn't think so but I definitely am different then others. Funny thing is you think that would be a positive. Who wants to be yelled at? I know I don't like it.

I don't like to get yelled at either. I would love to call them up for you and start yelling at them though:)
I am so sorry that people are stupid. I know if Utah there was a legal advocacy group for the disabled. Their goal was to help people get what they needed - not really to sue people. I don't think of you as disabled, but if the potential employers do and are treating you like this, maybe there is a group that can help. Maybe they would just know friendly employers? You can also call the state civil rights department and just file a complaint. It won't cost you anything and at least these idots will know that what they are doing is wrong! I love you and will keep praying for a job for you! And I am happy to yell at anyone for you.
Bummer. I'm so sorry. Everything will work out for the best - don't you worry. And yelling is overrated!! ; )
Love ya!
I am so mad at these people! I am proud of you for not getting on their case about this! I would be so mad. I love you and I know you will get a job soon. You are in my prayers.
p.s. In my opinion,small companies are over-rated!

Coming from an HR position...I would SUE!
However, Cyndi does has a good idea and I think you need to consider this. Especially since this is getting to the point that frustrates me. I am in HR and I KNOW not to ask questions and I am the one unemployed.... Hang in there!
