Are you kidding me? Im a Mechanical Engineering major and had an internship last summer. Got an interview for a different place. I was told after the interview today that it was down to 2 people, me and someone who came in the day before. He called me later that day and said I didnt get it, because they were going in the direction with a female. He specifically told me I was just as qualified and enthusiastic. If I wasnt as good, he would have just said they went in a different direction and that would have been the end of it, but he really made me know that pretty much the only reason why I wasnt hired was because I'm a man.
This was to be a quality control intern at a manufacturing facility.
No company would EVER tell a woman that they would rather have a male perspective (thats what guy told me). It would be all over the news as the most sexist thing ever.
I am ANGRY!!!!!
