I went on two job interviews for a TA position in an Elementary school. After second interview the Vice Principle called me on the phone and offered me the job. I accepted the job and was told Personnel would call me with further information. I told the Vice Principle I could not start for two weeks because I had to give my former job two weeks notice. He said he understood and that would not be a problem. I gave my notice and worked my last two weeks. I still did not hear from Personnel. I connected the Vice Principle and said he would look into this. It went on for about 5 days. Finally i get a call from Personnel and they in form me that I am not qualified for the job, because I do not have a college degree. After two interviews and I gave them a resume and filled out an application and never stated on this that I had a college degree. Nor was I asked at the time of interview. So know I have no job because I quit after the job was offered to me. Do I have any legal rights?
This is a terribly unfair situation. However, in general, the only claims for failure to hire are those that were motivated by race, color, sex, national origin, religion, disability, age 40 or older and, in certain situations, an applicant's genetic information.
