Wow: Woman Rejected for Job because of Her "Ghetto" Name

Wow: Woman Rejected for Job because of Her "Ghetto" Name

I swear sometimes we just can't win. No matter our resume, skills or professionalism, something as trivial as a name can hold us back from a job. A woman named Hermeisha Robinson was told by a job she applied to in WRITING that her name is the reason for why she did not get hired. She posted this on Facebook: 

“I have a public service announcement I am very upset because today I received an email about this job that I applied for as a customer service representative at Mantality Health...They discriminated against me because of my name which they considered it to be “ghetto” for their company! "

The company has responded saying they were "hacked". Yeah right!!
