I knew two of the women interviewing me as well as several people who currently work there from my previous job. I was relieved after receiving positive feedback and having an engaging conversation. I have been relentlessly seeking a career in higher ed for over a year and I was certain I was going to get to make a difference in the higher ed community again. I was crushed when one of the women, a former co-worker with whom I thought I had a decent relationship with (we worked together often, we’re friends on Facebook and LinkedIn.) she asked if I remembered her…how could I not? I was a bit taken aback at that point. The conversation felt cold and she seemed uninterested, I tried my best to remain positive and confident but I guess it wasn’t enough.

Overall the process was amazing and the screening process and interview phases were easy. However I feel that I got racially profiled or disliked by a Team Leader. Im glad I did not get the job because I would be unhappy if I had to work under team leaders who appear to be racially motivated
