I previously worked in a position for 1 year and was working for that same company for 4 other years. i was a temporary resident in the u.s. so i had to have a work permit. well it expired so i had to leave. but it was on good terms with the company. now i have my green card and tried to apply but they would not interview me for that particular possition. i applied for another position and i have not been hired. i mainly think my old manager did not like me for personal reasons. so now she is giving bad references to the other location and not willing to interview me even though i’m well qualified for both positions. Is this legal?
also, i’m not a recent immigrant or somebody that doesn’t speak english. i been here since i was 5. so i’m as american as you can get. Also, i might not have been clear on my question. I’m not sayin im entitled to anything. I’m asking is it illegal to deny an INTERVIEW. The answers i’m getting are as if i asked about getting the actual position.
let me ask this then. is it required for them to give you a reason?
