I went for a job interview yesterday afternoon, I applied for a Sales position at Jenny Craig and I was contaced the day I applied and asked to come in for an interview the following day. So I did. I was really pleased, it seemed like I had finally found a job where I could be a valuable asset as an employee. Who better to help motivate people than someone like me?! I'm severly overweight I'm aware of this. But surely you'd want to have someone there you can relate too? Think, I could have really promoted the company at least the center in my area, Come lose weight with me, and have me lose weight along with my customers. So I go in for the interview and the Director takes me to her office, and the interview starts well enough, then she asks me why do I think I'd be valuable as an employee? well I tell here what I've already stated above. and then she tells me that, she disagrees, that she thinks if I were hired that I would cause the center to lose buisness because people would come in, see me, then become offended and or leave thinking that "well this program dosen't work look at who they hired." Because I'm fat!!!  What The ****?! It took all my strength not to jump up and knock that little ho unconcious! If that wasn't bad enough then she looked at me and asked what do I know of Jenny Craig, If anything at all?  ummmm...what type of idiot dose she take me for? with all the ccelebrity endorsement even a 80 yr old shut in knows about Jenny Craig. I have close realatives that are on the program and even go to the very center I was interviewed at.  So I know first hand about the program and that it works. Then the little bitch realized that she's blatenly offended me ...no shit right?...  She then tells me how 6 - 8 months ago this size 2, 90 pound chick lost "65 pounds"  Bull Shit, This woman's frame is so small that if she were 65 pounds over weight you would be able to see the tell tale signs like gee, i don't know,  Stretch marks under that super short sleeved nearly no sleeves baby t-shirt. And if she truly had ever been over weight like that she would have never said that to me. with all the emotional abuse we put our selves through and our near non exsistent low self esteeme. no, obese current or otherwise whould ever say that to another person.  The most this chick could have ever been overweight would the 5 pounds she gained on her last period but, lost it after she threw up. At that the interview was over, I stood up and left

When I got home, I wasted no time in calling the 1800 number to log a formal complaint, The gentleman I spoke to was outraged by what I told him and profusely apologized to me I could hear his genuine disgust as he typed the report that he was to send to his boss and the corporate office. However, it's his job, he told me the Jenny Craig policy, "All Jenny Craig Employees must model the image of a healthy lifestyle" Basically they only hire size 2 or less.

I've been trying to get a job since January. There have been multiple jobs that I'm qualified for, That I am a "desireable applicant" for hire. Then, after the phone interview I show up to the on site interview, My persona and answers don't change I'm still the same person they spoke to. But, after that I never hear another word. Then, months even weeks later, I see the same job has been relisted and they are still seeking employees. If they had openings and if I was so "desireable and qualified" why didn't I get hired? Yesterday's issue has got me reflecting on this. Is it because I'm fat and not society's view of beauty? Is it really something so shallow as that? why I still don't have a job?  My common sense is riging in my skull No, this can't be. but, I have yet to be proven wrong.
