Recently, I was interviewed for a position with Sentara. The position stated great job for a new college graduate. I qualified for the position and to add to this they are supposed to be one of the #1 companies hiring military spouses..Well I qualify for this as well and also have HR experience! Well I was told that a person with 5 years experience was selected. So what happened to the new graduate and hiring military spouses. I've been trying to get hired with Sentara for about 7 months now and have only received one interview, as I know I'm qualified for these positions. This just shows Sentara really isn't looking for the qualifications stated in the job announcements. If you don't know someone within the organization within a management position, guess what? You don't stand a chance. It's sad but true! A really aggravated candidate!

Phone screen with the recruiter and then an interview with the hiring manager, which was pitched as an "informal interview". Throughout the call with the hiring manager, it was blatant that she just wanted to get it over with. She kept cutting me off to move the interview along. Feels like it was just to be a diversity check-box.
