Hi,
I'd be glad to be able to work for such a company as Target. After my 4th interview at the same store with an interviewer different from the 3 before (including once the store team leader) on Friday I realized some of the questions they had asked me were discriminatory to my medical condition regarding my previous studies at university.
Because I wrote in the application that either I have some college done or that I have attended college, I was asked if I am done with school at a 4 year university, to which I responded to with "no, I've got 2 more years left."
At some point I mentioned that I've learned that I have to either study full-time or work full-time, but not both at the same time. I also did mention that I need to work full-time for health insurance, even if it means working in leadership (that I'm willing to do anything to work full-time when school is not in session and take a leave of absence for when school is session until I receive my degree. This is regardless of if benefits apply when on leave).
Then I was asked if I study full-time or part-time, in that order. I responded with "I study full-time, but with the minimal amount of units required for full-time," finding out that the interviewer both works and studies full-time.
Then I was asked how many units I take, telling them "13 units." Next, if 13 units is 4 classes, responding with "no. It is 3 classes."
Upon ending the interview I was told to wait in the break room and after the interviewer came back they shared that I will be receiving an email in a couple of days. I asked if the email is a declined offer email, to which they responded yes.
Right before leaving the employee part of the store I asked the interviewer what to tell my next choice Target store when they interview me. They said "good question," and asked their store team leader in a room with the door open with someone else there. There were three employees; the store team leader, the interviewer and someone else, as well as me outside of the room. I got the impression that the store team leader didn't have a legitimate reason for not making a job offer (4th interview for logistics, previous 3 for a cashier position) because the store team leader had told me to have the next choice store call them rather than tell me what to tell my next choice location.
Later in the day I tell the Leader on Duty over the phone that I need to the store team leader to call me back
because their interviewer had discriminated me.
The store team leader calls me back the following day while I'm at work and leaves me a voicemail saying that they, the store team leader, got my message. I call the store during a break and am told by the operator (when asking if the store team leader is in the store) that "the store team leader is not available.” I ask if the store team leader is in the store, to which the operator responds with "I am not able to tell you if the store team leader is or isn't in the store."
Operators of the store start refusing to give their name to me when asked and encouraged to be open over the phone.
Eventually I find out the first name of the district manager and the district the store is in.
Today I called customer relations to email the district manager, who I later left a voicemail through the district office before the end of the work day. I had been told that the supervisor of the customer relations representative was also not available and could only get back to me in several business days.
I'm hoping to hear what others think of my situation.
