How to Write a Complaint Letter About a Job Interview
Discriminating against anyone is against the law in many
anglo-centric jurisdictions. If you think you have been
discriminated against, then you need to tell their employer.
Steps
- Find the person that is above the interviewer, namely, their
boss. Get their name and an address. You don't have to state your
real name, simply say you'd like to send something through the
mail. If they don't give you their address, find it out yourself.
You can use the Internet or a library search (librarians will
assist you if you ask politely).
- Write the letter in a professional manner. Don't use curse
words or threaten them - if you need to vent, tear up such a letter
and begin again. Simply state that you felt discriminated against
and would like the appropriate action taken.
- Find out the person's name who interviewed you. If you don't
know their name, call and ask, or, state in the letter the exact
time and date of your interview - they can figure it out from
that.
- Don't talk to them personally! Send them an e-mail or even
better, an actual letter through the mail. If it was really bad,
then you should consider using an intermediary such as a lawyer or
mediator.
Tips
- If you want to stay anonymous, then you state that at the
beginning of your letter.
- Be very specific about why you felt discriminated against.
- Be polite, but let it be known very clearly what you're
complaining about.
Warnings
- Don't use threats!
- Don't use curse words!
- Accusations of discrimination are very serious and you
shouldn't claim you have been discriminated against just because
you didn't happen to like how the interview went.
