Absolutely! I am retired military over 40, degree from the U.S. Naval Academy, MBA, PMP....I can’t get an interview! I interviewed for a position in the city of Dallas a couple of weeks ago. All of my interview officials were black and the very first question out of their mouths was about diversity.
“PMP”
As a PMP in the tech field, I found it easy to obtain work.
As a white male with military experience, your only chance of getting a government job today is to wear a dress to your interviews and tell them you are transgender.
Indeed worked well for me, recently landed a great job with a real estate company In Dallas. You should see results in a short time.
Diversity? I’ll tell you about employment “diversity.” It’s about company after company being purchased by a minority and suddenly the entire staff is that same minority. I see it ALL the time.
In the small business world at least, minorities hire minorities. I have watched a local Popeyes go from all black, to all Hispanic, to all Indian. Each time, it was triggered by a change in owners. Everyone discriminates, and I actually respect the right of an owner to employ who they want, but anti-discrimination laws only go one way in my experience.
