Discrimination is the most likely reason for Vanessa not receiving any interviews despite her competence in the field. Discrimination occurs when individuals or groups are treated differently based on their group membership, such as gender, race, or ethnicity. In this case, Vanessa is likely being discriminated against because of her gender as auto repair shops may stereotype this profession as being male-dominated.
