F it I’ll just say it
Working in IT has been a bad decision for me so far. I’m a big black athlete with a geeky side. But for some reason, I get calls from so many jobs and then afterwards they’re like “oh he was great and the interview was great but we went with someone else”. I know people will sit there and say I’m overreacting or making excuses but I’ve already experienced it twice. Interview discrimination that is.
I try my best to stay optimistic and tell myself someone will see what you have to offer on the inside but at this point I have bills to pay and people to take care of. About to just go back to being a personal trainer. Yeah, there the loved to hire big black athletes. Easy selling points for them.

Shame to hear you feel that way but don't let those employers limitations ruin or interrupt your resolve to pursue your career goals. Look outside the Philadelphia area if you have to but don't give up.
