Don't blame racism for your downfalls. I personally think there was a good message here... Racism has turned around now anyway... Black or white we all need a job and feeling sorry for yourself is not going to help you. Make a difference and change the world... Mlkingjr i have a dream... He didnt say you guys is racist.

Everything went well. I was told I will get a second interview in about 10 days. Well the next day I get a email stating that based on my experience, i'm not a choosen candiate for the position. I don't why they bothered to interview me, if they knew ahead of time that I didn't have that much experience. I emailed my resume, the recruiter had me come in for a job interview.

Afterwards, I started to do some more work on my resume and now, my new revised resume seem way more impressive than the one I just submitted to that company.

The interviewer (the company's recruiter) told me that she was going to e-mail me the following week about the date and time of a second interview. But I didn't hear from her after a week. So I e-mailed her a follow-up message last week but didn't get anything back. So yesterday I e-mailed her a second follow-up, asking when the second interview will be happening, but I still got nothing from her. I'm very confused now, and really don't know what to do. Please give me advice, and power! Thank you. John Hi, Brian,

I had a fantastic interview and said the next day would email me all the paper work and have criminal background check  done. He did that and  followed up with me 2 days later to let me know everything was looking good and would know possibly by Thurs, when everything came back. Today is Fri, and I havent heard anything, would it be okay to email him today ?    I have another interview with another company today also, but really liked this job.

The original poster has gotten past this stage, so the resume used was just fine. 2) This person is clearly anxious and stressed so talking about what could have been done in the past is of ZERO use. It would probably add to the feeling of helplessness.
