Heading: MacKenzie's Request for Promotion

Text: 13 In November 1993, a specialty clerk position opened up in the administration department of Denver Health. While still at the ID Clinic, MacKenzie applied for the position. The particular job responsibilities included (1) processing employee requisitions, (2) processing payroll and performing payroll-related tasks, and (3) keeping track of travel-related matters. Despite MacKenzie's past payroll experience, Martinez did not offer her the position. Instead, Rosalinda Romero, a younger candidate, was chosen. The City claims it chose Romero because of (1) her strong work ethic, (2) her experience in materials management/payroll — precisely the type of experience sought for the position, (3) her proficient interpersonal skills, and (4) the fact she had previously worked in the same department. 8 Because she did not receive the promotion, MacKenzie included a failure-to-promote claim in her March 29, 1995 discrimination charge to the EEOC.
