I THOUGHT my interview interview at Madison Reed went well.However,I guess I was wrong.I have 20 years experience, management experience,friendly and extremely qualified!!!!!!.I NEED to understand why I wasnt hired for this job???.It isn't possible to get someone MORE qualified than myself.Im not bragging,I just know that I would have been such a great fit.I was made to believe I GOT the job as a shift lead.They asked me when I could start,gave me the location and discussed compensation.I was interviewed by the general manager,He was easy to talk to and very helpful.The HR lady,Victoria whom I spoke on the phone prior to the practical was absolutely lovely.I was extremely excited about workimg at Mafison Reed as Id heard great things!!! My only obvious downfall was the fact that I was nervous and not ptepared for tge hpurs of in depth qurstioninh.However in no way would that have undeimed my capabilities. I was on time,dressed well and nailed the practical,I was totally bewildered when they sent me an email the following day,stating that they would NOT be hiring me,and good luck job hunting.Extremely condescending and quite honestly a really bad call!!! Had more than just ONE person met with and got to know me,they would have had to agree I'm the perfect candidate for this job.I was SOOO excited about working for this company. I reached out to HR,just to find out WHY?? I couldn't imagine what I'd done so wrong,???I got NO response!!I gave up an entire day and travelled a hundred miles to accomodate their hiring process. I didn't think it was too much to ask,to extend me the courtesy as to WHYY,they'd turn down a more than qualified candidate ??? IT MAKES ZERO SENSE.I'm a single Mom,this company is all about empowering women? In literally every way,I was and still am a Perfect candidate for this job. If I had met with more of the staff,there is NO possible way,they wouldnt agree with me on the fact that Im totally qualified and a perfect fit for this job.Ive NEVER been more sure about anything!!! I KNOw,I would have been a fantastic hire for this company,and it really makes me wonder about the hiring processI have lost respect for this company because they let really great candidate slip away!!! They,not only turned me away,but totally shut me down on the advice of one Man,??? This from a company that is supposed to empower women????? Seems contradictive and counter productive and not at all in the companies best interest.I REALLY wanted this job and would have given all my effort to Madison Reed..From what I understand,they are in great need of experienced and qualified stylists.That is coming from MOSTLY customers!!!It just doesn't make ANY sense that I was not hired as ANYTHING? Not a stylist,receptionist,or even the possiblity of a job in the future?Im NOT a criminal,I don't drink nor do drugs,and I have good references.I dress well,Im attractive,approachable,knowledgeable,responsible,outgoing and get along well with EVERYONE?!!.Customers and staff always love me because I'm fair,honest,kind ,professional and I know what I'm doing!!!!,Im an excellent hair stylist,all around,and that is extremely evident !!! What did I do that was Soo wrong??? I can only come up with ,I was nervous.As expected. I simply can't wrap my head around how I couldn't at the VERY LEAST,be given the option to re apply in the future??
