Above.
I applied for 3 jobs last week and I know for a fact I've been rejected for at least 2 of them, like I applied online to Morrison's Supermarket, I knew fully well I'd get rejected the second I declared my disability, but I did it anyway, next day I got an email "We do not feel your experience and skills match what we are looking for", Pardon? I can't help the fact 95% of my retail experience is in Charity shops, but that should be neither here nor there, it's a shop, it has customers which I served, what more do they want?!
I now feel as though I've literally wasted the last 20 odd years doing voluntary work when it's apparently not relevant to working in a "proper" retail establishment.
