I am a 19 year old college student. I live on a military base where my father is the commander of the base. Therefore he is in charge of many things. When I went to apply for a job, I was told to volunteer for a while and apply for the position, an entry level courier position, and that the experience should help me qualify for the job. I volunteered for a month and was told I was going to be interviewed and after I did, I was told to wait for a phone call telling me if I got the job. After two weeks, I was told that I cannot work for this organization because I would be working for my father. I am going to file an official complaint at my Equal Opportunity Office for many reasons. I was NOT told when I applied that I was not elligible for employment. I even qualify for something called Family Member Preference since I am overseas. However, because of my Fathers position I am now told I cannot work for anything under him, even though he had no say in the hiring process because I was so far below him. I was also the only one who qualified for the job by the way. I believe no one else applied.
Any advice or things I should be reading to help me fight this?
