Didn't get the job because I like horror movies?

First of all, that's called "biased judgement" and "discrimination."

But sadly, employers are allowed to do that. No, they can't discriminate, but there are SOOO many loopholes for employers. For example, my Dad was trying to find work over the last few years. He used to work at Boeing, then got laid off. He's middle aged, and when he tried applying elsewhere, he faced aged discrimination EVERYWHERE. They basically told him he was too old, but the official reasoning was that he was: "overqualified." That's how they get around "discrimination." They did the same thing to you.



Just think of it this way. If he wasn't willing to hire you because of your awesome movie interests (I say awesome because I too am an avid horror fan), then you wouldn't want to work for that shmuck anyways.


But no interview is a waste. Just think of it as practice. You'll get more.


EDIT: Trust me, there's nothing you can do. You can complain if you want, but it won't do you any good. No harm in trying though. Maybe contact the BBB (Better Business Bureau)?
