Job Interview Questions: Can i sue for discrimination as a result of a job interview?

I think they are not going to hire me because of something I said in the interview unrelated to the job. They took me to lunch and in the elevator there was a bad smell. I guess I was nervous because when we got out I said that it wasn't me behind the smell. They looked at me funny and were different to me after that. Can I sue based on discrimination if they were white males? Serious answers only please.

Tips For Facing a Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
You could sue them if you have a gastro-intestinal condition which causes chronic flatulence, and they refused to hire you because of that.
Unless it was an application for a job at a beauty counter where aroma is important because it would make it hard to sell the perfumes due to the conflicting odor.

How to Improve Your Job Interview Skills


  • No.

    You are not entitled to be hired. And the failure of white males to hire you doesn't mean that you were discriminated against.

    If you think they are not going to hire you based on your inappropriate humor, you need to work on dealing with your nerves in a more professional manner not on your litigation techniques.

  • Seriously?

    You're going to play the race card after you made an inappropriate comment in front of them?

    **sigh**

    Yes, you can sue for discrimination. No, you will not win based on what you wrote here.

  • {{{{facepalm}}}}

    Only if you can prove you were discriminated against based on EEOC guidelines.

    Keep in mind that trolls are not a protected classification

  • Are you kidding me?

    You have no case for a lawsuit. They are not obligated to hire you even before you made a comment.

  • Not unless you can prove you was discrimated against I'm sorry to say

  • You're either a troll or an idiot. Great -- let's find yet another excuse to play the race card!

  • No. Bad manners is a good excuse to not hire someone.

  • yeah go ahead and sue im sure the judge could use a good laugh

  • damn anything for weed huh playa
