ARTICLE: Five (5) Reasons Black People Never Get The Job

I am so sick of some black people saying that they didn't get the job that they applied for because they were black. Hmph. Why this may be true some of the times, have you taken the time to consider what may have caused you to not receive the position?

I have compiled a list of (5) reasons that you may have not received a call-back from the potential employer.

1.) Improper Email Address: So you went to apply for a corporate position at one of the most prestigious companies right? Instead of giving the employer a proper email address such as (GregMathis@gmail.com) you give them your Black Planet email address (BigJuicyBooty@AOL.com).

2.) Non-Professional Ringtones: You want to show off to your friends that you have the new Jay-Z song 'N*ggas In Paris' so you set it as the 'ring-back' tone. Ha. So, that same corporate company calls to schedule an interview and the first thing they hear is 'hello, hello, hello, hello white America, assassinate my character'.

3.) Bad References: So you think that employers no longer call the references that you write on your application anymore? So let's say the employer calls your friend Melissa when you know she has a house full of kids and is braiding hair. I don't think that's a good idea either.

4.) Horrid Resume: You just got an offer for an interview for a multi-million dollar job. Exciting right? However, when you submit your resume you have all of your previous employers listed including those five years you worked at Chick-Fil-A as a teenager. What does frying chicken have to do with computer engineering?

5.) Social Networking: So they aren't going to find you because you have your profile locked right? Employers can still search your screen name in the search box on Twitter and see previous RTs and the tweets of what others sent to you. So yeah, your profile may be locked but they can still see '@BigPeenShawty' tweeting you for nude pics. What about that Jason Smith that added you on FB a few weeks ago that you have no idea who they were? Yeah, you didn't get the job.
