First off, you took a couple years off and went back to school. Secondly it was a couple years ago. I would bet that you are a better fit now and a very differant candidate than in the past.

Just wondering though, you mentioned that she is a big black lady. Up untill that point we didn't know what color she was and it doesn't add anything to this thread to put down what color she was. Is that meant to explain how you have been wronged or how all big black women treat others and we will all understand now the predicament that you are in? I just don't see how adding race adds anything to the question. Could have been a petite blond that was just pissed at you for all we know.

I'd admit it, to be honest. You won't have to fill out the paperwork until the client says they want you on the job, anyway, and ABC company won't reject you at that point anyway.

Thank you, I was thinking the same thing...would poster have used "big white lady" in the descriptive sentence...

And I didn't mean to get on you for that, other than it is a pet peeve of mine. I always think it is funny when someone tells a joke and one of the people in the joke is black. So what color are the other people? Or they are telling a story and state "and then this black guy said" Still what are the color of the other people.

It's ok. I guess I'm a storyteller. If she was white and skinny I would have said "...and that skinny, white little biatch..."...or something along those lines LOL. This woman just happened to be big and black. That's all
