VIC Not shortlisted but qualified for job

[Joe Black]

Hi,
I am curious if anything can be done about my situation.
I worked in a position for 4 years, left the company for 4 months and then reapplied for a similar position in the company.
I addressed the selection criteria and met all the requirement of the job.
I was not short listed for the position and the manager is refusing to answer my calls or emails. I received a generic email saying I was unsuccessful and thanks you for your application etc.
I have a feeling I did not get shortlisted because the manager and I (and some of his/her workmates) did not see eye to eye on some issues previously.
(for the background - I have never been disciplined or had prolonged time off sick etc)
Thanks
J

Not really. No evidence of wrongdoing.

What about if you meet the selection criteria you should be shortlisted or can I ask for the deligates report under FOI?

FOI only works (sometimes) for information held by a government.

An employer is allowed to select who they like as long as they do not discriminate in doing so. You have no evidence suggesting they have discriminated against you.

Yeah true. Thanks.
