This certainly wasn't the case for the people who showed in my hiring group. 7/8 were male, the female didn't get hired. No minorities. Half were in their 40's, the rest were in their low to mid 30's. None had flowthrough. Every one of them seemed like a genuinely nice person. 5/8 were strict military, one was mil/regional but he didn't get hired...
YMMV but there are jobs out there. Keep networking and keep trying!
