[quote=Anonymous]You can be privilaged and have a work ethic.

I never thought my 10+ year career in banking had anything to do with privliage, I worked hard through college, pulling full-time school with full-time employment.

Then I remembered my very first interview, the one that started it all. When I arrived to the interview and there was a young black woman waiting too, she was dressed like she already worked at a bank. I looked like I worked as an assistant manager at the mall (which I was). She and I are sitting next to each other, and her resume looked SO impressive. I immediately felt out of my league.

My interview time was mixed up with hers, but I had to go to the mall before it opened. The interviewers proceed with her first. About 15 minutes into HER interview, the panel of three white interviewers said they felt awful that I might miss this interview because I had to go to work. They stopped HER interview, and invited me in and excused her.

I killed the interview. I was told at the interview I had the job and they would ve extending an offer. There was another position open as well but the girl in the lobby didn't get it.

No way would those interviewers had acted that way if my competition was a white sorority girl.  [/quote]
