No employer would be stupid enough to admit it because they could face a law suit. I never believed that this kind of discrimination existed at first. I've always thought that it was the way I speak or that I should demonstrate tactfulness in answering interviews, but after I fixed that I still could not land a job way below my credentials. Halfway through my job search I told my father that it was my weight that keeps me from getting one, but He said that I was just imagining things and that they would hire someone based on their skills not looks(my father left his family when he was very young because they were starving, he ventured to Luzon to find a way to rise from poverty and he managed to get a decent education all by himself, he worked his ass off to build a home get me to college, get my cousin and others to college and others who asked for help he helped them. People trust him and whenever he looks back he always tell me that his life was blessed. That hardwork can get you anything. He didn't experience the discrimination that happened to me. That's why he was always baffled as to why it was hard for someone like me who had the privilege that he never had to fail.). Its gonna be hard to recover from this. I was already depressed when I went back home to take care of my ailing father but now I feel something worse. I could not forget his dying face. Its hard to focus on simple things. And every time I remember him I feel sad and angry and apathetic. My father raised me to be kind but society made me vengeful. What is it like to be denied something you desperately want? I never wanted a fancy job just anything decent that I could tell my father that he doesn't have to worry anymore I can take care of myself, he rest in peace. But he suffered until he died and he was still worried.
