Had an interview here years ago when I was 28 for a job to be on a project team or whatever. I sat in an interview with a young lady and man who were running the projects. They told me how it worked with keeping up with the status of things and calculating costs. My degree is in microeconomics so it was perfect, and I explained that to them via the interview, as microeconomic analysis is calculating small things like time and the overlap of different jobs integrating and effecting each other. They sat there and continuously told me that economics had nothing to do with the job at all, apparently not even in the financial sense. They did this over and over, insisting that there was nothing relating to that in a project management role, and they were looking for someone math oriented. I left the interview thinking, what did I just experience? Fast forward a week and I call to check in, and my number was actually blocked by their system, completely blackballed. I called on my friend's phone to even get an explanation and I was left on hold for 30 minutes then disconnected. I couldn't even reapply a year later because their system didn't let me in due to my information already being present. To boot the young lady who interviewed me was actually a sociology graduate from my same college. Nothing to do with math, engineering, or finance. Fast fast forward, I'm 32 and I use microeconomic analysis daily as a project manager/ logistics analyst at the HQ of a fairly large transportation company. Please educate your interviewers and don't be instant black ballers.
