ever been discrimated against on a job interview .
yesterday i went to a interviewer at walmart and the person who interviewed me was very friendly and he asked me if i could speak french and i said a little bit and i told him i was going to be taking french classes in september and he put me down for a second interview he asked me if i could come for a second interview the same day at 3pm and i told him i couldnt because i have somewhere to go to and i asked him if i could come tommorow and he said okay to come at 11am i cam today at 11am and i told the people in the interviewer room that i have an 11am interviewer and the woman started speaking to me in french and i told her that i had an interview and she told me in french that if you dont speak french we cant hire you to work here.
and the woman who was supposed to interview me came and spoke to me and asked me to speak french and i told her i can speak a little bit of french and she asked me a question in french and i asked her if i could speak in english and she said no and she started to ask me why i dont speak french how long have i lived in montreal and she said that its the law to be bilingual to work in customer service in quebec and she said in the past they have had problem where they hired english speaking people to work and customers would complain about it and she said that she could get a fine i asked her why did they put me down for a second interview then if you know that i dont speak much french... im really bothered about what happened i felt like i was being discriminated against tbecause the woman didnt want to interview me because i can only speak a little bit of french and i dont think that was justifiable beacuse i told her that i will be taking frnech classes and i can learn on the job
and 3 yrs ago i applied at the same walmart and i didnt have any problems the person who interviewed me if i don't speak a lot of french i can learn on the job and that she started the same way .. what do you guys think of this do u think i should file a complaint and what do u think i should do..
