Visionstar Inc Lexington Law Firm The receptionist "Christi" is not qualified to do her job! Los Angeles, California

They DO discriminate in the hiring process. I have interviewed with these people twice and NAILED the interview both times. The last time I was the first person in the room to ask questions, I was the only person to ask more than one question, I was the only person smiling the whole time - which was because I was genuinely excited and certain I would get the job. I am an actor and I also do voice work so I know how important it is to smile when you're on the phone, people can HEAR a smile over the phone. This isn't something I'm new at - I've been doing phone sales; canvassing; street team; door to door sales for YEARS and it's something I'm good at. The ONLY difference between me and anybody else in that room is that I'm over 40, and NONE of the people working there appeared to be over the age of 30. EVERY SINGLE PERSON in that interview had a look on their face like they'd have rather not been there - I was the only one genuinely excited and looking forward to my first day at work and I'm not desperate for work either. I'm able to pay my bills from acting but not able to save money which is the reason I applied for the job - so I could save money in order to get a non-profit off the ground because starting a non-profit isn't cheap.

So if you're over the age of 40 - don't even bother with these people, Unless your plan is to contact the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and file a discrimination complaint, which I'm thinking about doing. I'm obviously not the only person they've discriminated against.

To my knowledge, Visionstar Inc is an outsource call center.  In other words, it would appear that companies hire them to handle their sales/customer service calls, but they are not the actual manufacturer or supplier of goods or services.  That would explain why they hire so often...because the products change, as do the needs of the employer.  If the primary age group is younger than yours, it's because these are the ones usually seeking part time employment....students, aspiring artists etc.  If you were not hired, it's wrong to assume that it's because of a number on your birth certificate.  Perhaps it never occurred to you that you just didn't fulfill their needs as an employer.  None of us are entitled to a job just because we apply for it, no matter our age.  And by the way, I am over 50, and I have no problem getting a job offer.
