How do you handle it when you are interviewed and your cover letter and resume are well written. Your speaking skills and vocabulary are superior. Your test results from the test they gave you indicate perfect scores in math, critical thinking, and language / comprehension. The problem to handle is that they now think you won’t work well as part of a “team”. The team members would think you come accross as an outlier.
Don't forget, "if your a minority",,, very important in today's world. Skill sets needed to hire them are very different.
I have been in workplace environments where basic competence was considered “intimidating behaviour”.
I was at a training session for an accounting database used at one location. During the part covering the account set-up and login, I inquired if strong password were required. I got called on the carpet since I was allegedly suggesting that cuss words be used as passwords.
A strong password does not resemble any word, name, or placename, has a minimum length, and is a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols, and is a common accepted practice in computer security. That explanation did not mean anything.
