maybe you didn't get hired because of your bad spelling and grammar?
Answered by JMom

A:
What? Did you let your phone ring during a job interview? How would the prospective employer know about your ring tone. If you let your phone ring during a job interview I wouldn't hire you either, no matter what your ring tone is.

A:
Legal action? First of all why have your phone on in an interview? You can sue of anything.. you probably wont win though... grow up and shut your damn phone off next time.

... Too vague. Next question!
Answered by BabeDoll

A:
perhaps it was not the ring tone. your atrocious spelling and grammar may have something to do with it.
Answered by sobrien

A:
No. And I don't know about everyone thinking they have legal recourse for the reason they're fired, but it says pretty plainly on a VA application that they can fire you for whatever reason they want.

A:
Haha no. If I had an applicant with a silly ringtone, that would imply an unprofessional attitude, especially if you're using that silly ringtone phone on the job. Ringtones are for kids.
Answered by jbone907

A:
IMPLOYER?????? I wouldn't hire you either!!!!
Answered by googleisit

A:
And how will you prove this was the reason?
Answered by doug0102

A:
No. Obviously, the ring tone was deemed offensive. Ring tone discrimination is not protected by law. I'd change my ring tone and improve on my communication skills.
Answered by KAT

A:
not if you live in Louisiana. this is a hire at will state.
Answered by m_c_2

A:
So what is the long and short of this question? I surmise you were in an interview and your cell phone rang and the interviewer did not like the interuption or the tonality of the sound? What are you going to do, sue them because they did not like you? And why would you WANT to work with someone you brought legal suits against? They wouldn't like you any better for it. Move on.
Answered by cgminime

A:
No, having a stupid ring tone is not a protected class. You being stupid and having an inappropriate ring tone is a perfectly valid reason not to hire you.
Answered by Box815

A:
No, you probably did not get hired because you don't know how to spell...
Answered by kk

A:
You have no grounds for sueing. Plus you first need to learn how to spell. It's "hired" not "hire" and it's "employer" not "imployor"
Answered by darcanjle

A:
Nope... you were never employed by them... they have a choice whether to or not hire you.
Answered by groverraj

A:
im pretty sure its not the ringtone dear. ring tone holders is not a protected class of people. so no, there is no legal action you can take against the employer. they dont have to hire anyone that they dont want to.
Answered by tortfeasor21913

A:
No. If they don't want to hire you because of your phone and the fact you can't spell, they have the right.
Answered by merrybodner

A:
That was just an excuse, the real reason was your grammar, spellling and punctuation.
Answered by ♥Sweet♥baby

A:

Answered by blktan23

A:
No. You have a more pressing question . . . why was your cell phone on during a job interview?
