This is some crap and an insult to a minority. Heck, if it'll make 'em feel better they can fly me to Det. for an interview- I need a break so bad that place would seem attractive.
I have been interviewed
pro forma for jobs everyone knew someone else was going to get.
Those interviews are demeaning and painful, and I don't blame anyone with an ounce of pride for not wanting to participate in a sham.
