I’ve been actively searching for a job for the past few months, and I’ve started to notice an interesting pattern during my interviews. Whenever I’m interviewed by a Latina woman, I NEVERRR make it to the next round, whereas I do advance when the interviewer is a man or a white woman. It’s something that has stood out to me because, in our culture, there’s sometimes a reputation for envy & competitiveness or even subtle rivalry among Latinas. I find it so disappointing because I would hope for more support and solidarity within my community & during interviews I can always sense this uncomfortable energy when I’m being interviewed by latinas. It’s like a power trip to know if I’m even as good as them or better than them. I hate it. It’s just a pattern I have noticed when getting interviewed by my own people or maybe it’s all in my head. Has anyone else felt the same? Or am I just overthinking this.
