Do you think employers judge you on your size?
I'm working in a dead end job and have been looking for a new one all year. I've had a lot of interviews and second interviews but no joy. I can't help but wonder if size is an aspect I am judged on, especially considering almost every reason for the "no" has been "we really like you and you interviewed very well and have great experience but another candidate just pipped you to it". Maybe that's just letting me down gently, I don't know.
Another aspect perhaps is ageism, a lot of friends have told me that because I'm in my late twenties, I might be seen as undesirable because I might leave and have babies.
Argh I just feel like the employment world is against me!
