A young deaf woman was refused a job interview at a Darwin catering company after a staff member turned her away because she couldn't 'speak English'. Miranda Reardon has now lodged a formal complaint with the Northern Territory Anti-Discrimination Commission after she felt disappointed with the way she was treated. When she arrived at the office, she met with an interviewer named 'Angela' but was knocked back when Ms Reardon asked if she could write down what she was saying. The 20-year-old told Daily Mail Australia that the company had invited her to an interview after receiving her CV but when she got there, she didn't get a chance to be interviewed.
