First job interview with a black manager

[intruder]

My first interview with a black person and i don't get the fukin job despite the recruiter telling me the feedback was positive and their could be a future for me there the day after. Calls me today saying someone else had the edge. Reject your people brehettes

Anyway another potential interview next week where i have to try and hop out on my lunch break. More company researching and azz kissing man this shyt stressful brehs

How do you know the other person they hired wasnt black? Besides just because your manager is black doesnt mean he'll be a good manager.
I've only had 4 black managers ever and one of them was horrible and not because of him but his assistant

1. First was a black Panamanian dude named Eligio when I worked at TracFone. I was a supervisor and he was the manager. I felt super comfortable with dude and enabled me as a supervisor to put me on the fast-track to be a manager like him.
   
2. Then came this older Jamaican woman (also at Tracfone) named Caroll. She was mad cool. She used to jokingly refer to me as her "future ex-husband". Did i miss out on my #meToo opportunity, here?
3. Then came this cat names Ed when i moved to Atlanta. He was professional but not very smart at the same time. Ed was a good manager IMO but my main problem was with his assistant who was one of the dumbest people i've ever met in life. Some of the shyt dude would do and say had me like . Put it this way: Dude was trying to say "computer literate" and typed "computer litter-it"....on his fukking resume. Yeah you read that right Ed hired him so im thinking Ed himslef couldnt be that smart himself. Their boss (Regional manager) was an awesome black lady and great manager and knew how to deletage and handle damn near every situation. She' s the one that interviewed me for the job-transfer to ATL. Her boss, tho? He Regional VP: Dumb fukk and surrounded himself with a bunch of "dumb-fukk yes-men". I'm not even gonna elaborate I'd have to write a fukking book
   
4. Then i worked with this manager named Ray. he was half black half Filipino. Very professional and all about his employees personal development. I had high hopes when he was hired as our manager. I rarely saw him at the time (that was in 2011 when i worked projects in Costa-Rica so i was rarely in the country). The company eventually forced him out because (i guess) they felt he was trying to do too much to change the culture. He came in as a director and they tried to demote him to a manager role or else. He told them to kick rocks. He recently reached out to me on Facebook and told me to send him my resume and that he could use someone with my skill-set. I never sent it because i had found a better opportunity elsewhere. I didnt wanna put myself in a position to say no to him.

I'm sorry but that's on you fam. She took it the wrong way but you also shouldn't have been casual with her. Y'all don't know each other...

Every interview I go to I do the same shyt.. My skill set is on my resume which why they called me in the first place.. Ended up making 130-150k at my current job vs that job that was like 65k... That bytch got offended from me being comfortable? I'm glad I didn't get that job

I sit on a fair bit of hiring panels....I always throw out my cards and go hardest for the black candidate (if they make it that far). The problem with panels is convincing the other, non-blacks to hire the black person over the Asian, Indian, Whit person that interviewed too. Honestly, people think that every black in a management position is out to get rid of all the other blacks but there are people like me who try to hire as many as feasibly possible. It's hard though cause not a lot of blacks even go into this field and even if the top two candidates are a white man and black man, all other minorities on the panel (if I'm not the only one) are going for the white dude. Sometimes I have to pull rank (which I don't like doing) and throw my connections around and other times I have to let it go. But if I hear what I think is racial discrimination ('He was aggressive' for what's essentially a sales/business development position) I'm calling it out.

I have a question? Do you notice that the other "minorities" on the hiring panel look for reasons to not hire the black candidate? Meaning they will straight up use the 'being aggressive' tag, even though there was no indication of it? I bet they descriminate in ways that would be left up to interpretation.


btw.. we need more brothas like you out there. Good job!

99% of my interviews be in some boss and hoppin bob/ or Master/slave type shyt the two black brehettes managers that ever interviewed me went very well, one even gave me a tour and everything.I was like

I never heard back from one of the jobs and I had to email the brehette for a status one the other one, she told she went with somebody else bytch even gave me the days I would be working and everything.
Just like the other brother said black managers can't hire there own, and most brehette are only allowed to hire black women and CAC women and men.

when I get interviewed by a black person I know I'm not getting the job. They are scared to bring in a black person and be looked at like they as re helping their own people.

this is what I came up with, thanks for letting me know that i'm not crazy

[Spiider]

Bytch was the only person interviewing me though and was smiling at me and shyt what gets me is she even told me their moving offices and i must check out the new location so its commutable enough for me.

Doubt there was even much hoops to go through as i was would of been reporting directly to her never get your hopes up until a contract is given y'all

This wasn't directed to me but I've hired a lot of people and been a part of hiring a lot of people and a lot of them black

In a lot of cases I've had no pushback. It'll be me and another manager joint interviewing a candidate and I will give the "good to go" a little more aggressively - like say things like "I like him/her...he's a go getter I can tell" - and the other non-black partner will usually just and not put up a stink.

I can say though that I've had 2 interviews that stick out (one male one female) where I wasn't able to help.

The young man was unqualified and the amount of

about his resume and how he could use the skills from previous work just couldn't cut it.


The woman we interviewed got too comfortable too soon. She could tell I wanted to hire her and so she relaxed a little too much. My co-manager asked a question and the lady pulled her phone out to respond to a text while the lady was asking later in the interview the other manager said "do you feel you would be able to focus on these tasks daily" trying to get her to address the lack of focus on the interview and the woman said something about being a great multi-tasker and the other manager just wouldn't let it slide since the lady we were trying to hire would've been on her team. I tried to say "maybe it was an emergency" and she hit me with the
