Was the issue with the time off or the nature of the medical ailment?
If true, I believe it is illegal in the US to discriminate against someone for a medical condition (not 100% sure though). Not sure about the UK. Did anyone put this in writing or was it all verbal?
They're not discriminating against him for a medical condition - they're discriminating against him for his school deferral. Not sure if that's legal though...
"Feedback: you had medical issues and therefore took a year off and even though you will secure a 2:1 minimum we have people who secure firsts and dont take time off uni."
yea:
"and therefore took a year off and even though you will secure a 2:1 minimum we have people who secure firsts and dont take time off uni."
Is the deferral tied to a one-time medical situation or is it a result of an ongoing ailment? If its the latter, I can see why they would be hesitant.
this makes me wonder how many people on wso tend to record their phone conversations with potential employers, or even live interactions like interviews...
Why did you tell them it was a medical reason, anyway? There are tons of other ways you could've phrased it.
