Yeah, I can understand that. Been there, was treated like that.
BUT....
And this has to do with the video you posted.......a lot of people DO NOT KNOW HOW TO INTERVIEW. If someone goes in there acting like a skank assed ho, then WHY do you have any expectations of them caring about hiring you?
And although the guy making the vid is good at comedy, he really fucked up this video. You walk into an interview with green hair, dark sunglasses, and dressed like your ready for bed or the beach, then you sure as hell aren't getting hired. You get a "courtesy interview" and thats all you get. After you leave, your resume gets thrown away.
Not only did this person in the video dress, act, and talk WRONG for an interview, this person came into this interview with LIES and a FAKE name to purposely throw a personal tantrum for something HE/SHE set up in advance. He/she not only destroyed and undermined that interview before they got to the interview, they undermined ANY AND ALL real and substantial questions the interviewer had for him/her.
This person purposely went into this interview with a "bomb", and had no intention of allowing the interviewer to read the resume he/she brought into the interview, much less allow the interviewer to ask any pertinent questions about their background.
As for what YOU have said, I agree. But that is the way the business world works. It is unjust, unfair, and bigoted. It always has been, and it always will be.
I worked at one place many years ago, where I had ponytail, but I kept it under my hat, as per the instructions in the company handbook. Yet, the women not only did NOT have to wear hats, they all had long hair that they did NOT have to keep above their ears!
The store manager came in one day (he knew I had long hair and kept it pinned up under my hat) and asked me (as he always did) when I was going to get my hair cut.
And I gave him my standard response...."when all the female employees were made to get haircuts". He never had a response for that. He would just smirk, turn, and walk away.
You can't get away from it.
