A man has said that the way he looks is stopping him from finding a job.
Jay Short, 39, believes that he is being "overlooked" due to a facial disfigurement.
This comes after he has been turned down from several jobs in recent months. That is despite years of experience in the sectors that he is applying to, North Wales Live.
Jay said that he has had to overcome years of barriers as a result of his appearance.
Now he has been unsuccessful in around 30 job applications in the past few months and has had to apply for Universal Credit.
He recently had an interview for a role at a company he had applied to previously and said the hiring managers were "impressed" with his CV and experience and that his initial interview had gone well. However, he claims that when he was put forward to complete a video interview things turned sour.
"I got myself ready, got onto the call and literally while I was turning my sound on they disconnected the call," he said. Jay claims he later got a text message advising him them the company wouldn't be taking his application further. "I asked why and they replied saying they had interviewed me for a role before."
He added: "I used to be a manager and I've re-interviewed people 10 times for roles in the past and that's never been a thing. Every company that has not fobbed me off has said feel free to apply for any position in the future."
Jay, from Newport, said the incident had left him upset and that he'd experienced numerous situations over the years where he felt he'd been overlooked due to his appearance.
He said it has been especially hurtful as he has almost 20 years of experience in hospitality including running teams, events and functions. Despite this, even roles below his level of experience
