Couple of questions asked at the interview I could not get my head around and never expected in an interview in a company like Pearson which is internationally recognized. 1.You are just 2 years in United States and looking for a job change? 2.Why are you looking for a full time opportunity?(Seems the person did not read my resume carefully that I am full-time employee with Cognizant for more than 8 years now) These questions asked does not support the claim of Pearson that it is a equal opportunity employer.And proves there are discriminations made.
