Happened to me a lot, I take it a blessing in disguise. They've shown their true colours before I am invested in the job. But knowing there are people like yourself, I'm hopeful for the future gen.

my employer has changed the application process to hide the applicants name and, I believe, date of birth as well. I think that's the way forward although that won't stop discrimination further down

My Man, Thank You For Saying This. My Name Is Mohammad Imran Fazal. And I Believe I Have Been Treated A Little Bit Unfairly In The Past When Trying To Secure Job Interviews Due To My Name.

I've been asked "are you Muslim?", "how practicing are you?", "Where is your family from?", "Why don't you have a "normal name?". All these questions were for HR roles.

I had the same experience in Bangor when the manager realised I was english. Was told they were only employing fluent welsh speakers after I'd been told I had the job.
