Today, I was excited to finally get an interview after being unemployed since getting out of the military nearly a year ago. Turns out, they weren't even interested in hiring me. They'd just never met a female Marine before. FML

Jeez, that's terrible. What were they planning on doing? Stare at you, say "wow, a female marine, it really is true" and send you on your way?

I'm sorry to hear, OP. I'm sure you'll find a good job soon. For all it's worth, thank you for your service.

Well that sucks. But kudos to you for being a Marine! I've heard the training for that is incredibly difficult, so it stands to your credit that you made it in.

I actually like this idea, too bad that the consequences wouldn't be worth it.

Apply for a post office position! Veteran candidates are hired over any other applicant!

Not just the Postal Service, but Veterans can get preference for lots of civil service positions. Good luck OP.
