A few years ago I had applied at L'occitane store before the holiday season. I interviewed but was not offered a position even though I have a lot of experience in retail and related areas. I did end up getting a job at their outlet store which was also seasonal.
It all started off nicely until the employees gave me a hard time. Why, because I'm a certain race or religion? Yes, I am Caucasian, and yes even we can be discriminated against, if we are working in a store that is primarily another race. It clearly showed I was treated differently.
Anyway, I did have a lot of product knowledge and have been using their products for years. I did great with customers; again, my religion and ethnicity was the reason why I wasn't kept on as a part time associate, and it just became more and more obvious because the store manager showed favoritism towards another seasonal employee. (Who wasn’t white or the same religion?) It's so sad people are this ignorant and don't look at the skills one can contribute, as well as knowledge of the product. Well my seasonal job obviously ended & I was trying to stay in the company since I knew so much. I was never considered. I tried to pursue the matter further only to fail with the area manager. With that I chose to go back to school and take a different career path.
