Why there is dicrimination everywhere?

Well, I guess in a hiring point of view, the company or anyone you're applying to doesn't see the value in training you or educating you in the industry. you mirth be willing to learn but time in many business is money. they would prefer to hire someone who already knows what to do and do what they want or need immediately.

Nurses are underpaid yet Nurses education is very expensive. Teachers are even paid higher than Nurses. I don't know why , when Nurses are dealing with fragile thing and that is life. Life is always at risk. Their work is not a kind of work wherein delete, erasures , edit can be done. So very risky work , that one false move can kill one life and can damage also nurse future . Nurses looks so pitiful in our country . no hospitals available for them and if there is salary is so small . Most nurses are not coming from wealth to do family , so naturally they need to help parents after graduation , so pushing self to work , any will do but no one accepts just being discriminated because accordingly , nurses doesn't do this and that job , does not fit and so on and so forth. I believed anything can be learn , so unfair if nurses are not given chance. Maui , if you're not accepted in that marketing job , you don't worry ! Apply for call center , they pay you high , plus they give you free accommodation and food as you start your job. Why force yourself to be in those discriminating offices. I have a nurse friend , work in call center . It is good for nurses because you are used in grave yard shift duty. Good luck then..You can do it !

I agree that everyone should be given a chance to learn a new profession. I see no reason why they can't start you off at part time using that time to train you. My husband & I were talking about this just the other day. He is the manager of a jewelry store & he was interviewing a woman who had never worked in a jewelry store before let alone in sales, but she had a wonderful personality & he could see by the way she presented herself that she showed a true eagerness to learn. So that's what he did. He hired her on for part time only for a trial basis. He explained to her that if it worked out he would keep her on full time. She was very happy for the chance to prove herself & so far she's done just that. My husband told me that she is a quick learner & because of her wonderful personality is very good w/ the customers. So you see if employers would only give some people a chance to prove themselves they just might be surprised at how well they do.

There are companies and people who prefer doing traditional working customs in a way prefers people to work for them with the degree or specialization they had graduated in. Some people tend to forget that this is the 20th century and we can learn most likely anything with some options. It doesn’t mean that you graduated with a degree far likely to the job opportunity you want you can’t perform such task. All you need to do is to stand up and prove them that they are wrong. In fact, more successful people have different skills but they landed on a career that is way far from their educational background. I think it’s a matter of courage and a matter of proving people that you can be flexible and skilful regardless of such educational attainment.

Hi mauie08, on my own understanding relative to your concern is definitely not a form of discrimination. That word mentioned is considerable on your case if you are treated unjust or prejudice, or the mindset of the interviewer has the disposition of looking you down due to your education. The very focal point here is just only a wrong choice of position and/or company. Further, you maybe didn't get the interest of the interviewer during actual interview, examination or demonstration. You can actually get the job otherwise by proving yourself that even your education doesn't fit on the job but still you can do beyond their expectation. You must build confidence to yourself instead of degrading your interest because of the mindset that you are discriminated. If you are eager to be a good marketer in the future, prove something better and market yourself to the interviewer.

Hi. I had sort of that same issue before. Whenever I looked for a job, most employers rejected me. I was really bummed out because my resume was long, and I had plenty of marketing and customer service experience. That is basically what they asked for. One day, I went in to ask for a job somewhere, they said they were hiring and I could come back later to pick up some applications. When I went back, another lady told me they had already hired someone that day, and done fingerprinting and everything. She started work that day too. Your situation may be discrimination. Your profession isn't supposed to matter when it comes to getting a job. I know a bunch of people that graduated with different titles and ended up working in marketing and sales. All they want is workers, so as long as you're good at it, it doesn't matter if you're a nurse.

Well, things work hard way in real life. Some of the things could be disgusting and demeaning at times, but then employers are more concerned about making profits and unfortunately, many want readymade solutions, and not willing to invest in the training of people who lack experience but willing to put in more efforts.

In my opinion,the reason is not discrimination but business issue,because every employer want to hire those person who has the relate work experience then they can get used to the work very fast,almost all the employers do not willing to train a new one who do not have a relate work experience and they always what their employers can make money for them as quickly as possible. But from another point of view,this is also can be taken as some kinds of "discrimination".

Hi, I am not in favor of those who do not hire applicants like you but I guess we should also understand that they prefer people whom they think are capable of handling jobs by their educational background. With regard to your question, there are discrimination every where because we are not in a perfect world. We can always hear and witness a whole lot more of discrimination because of imperfection.

for me, I do not think this is discrimination. Maybe you should make your point more clear in your resume. Once you make up your mind to be a salesperson, just keep striving for it. Come on. you can make a difference in market field.
