Same shyt too, if your name was Xiangquang Siffou, you're probably not gonna get callback for the Project Manager position

Damn breh, what's your name?

They don't know I'm black until the interview.

 

[Ohene]

Dear Andrew,


Thank you for your continued interest in theFinancial Planning & Analysis position. The hiring manager has requested that I move you to the next round of interviews. Congratulations!

Please let me know if you are available for a manager phone interview this week. If you are not, please let me know a day that will work for you.


Best regards,

*******

Good luck breh

my only question is if this can be used to create some sort of scandal/lawsuit but i guess not

I've done the same. It's funny how getting rid of an ethnic name makes them more interested in giving you a interview. That shock when they see you in person though.

yeah i have a white name and i know people are shocked when my ass comes through the door

How can change Tewedros to a cac name.

Past experience,name and maybe education are things look at on resumes.Names are definitely key

Tewedros aka "Ted"

so wondering if i should just chalk this up and not even phone screen or call them out about their blatant bias.

Naw tape the convo, then send it to a lawyer and file discrimination charges. You could have a huge lawsuit settlement in your favor.

Tewedros aka "Ted"

My first name is in that Tyrone, Darius, Jermaine field. Then the surname is African. So i'm glad that if I get into the interview stage - they looking for a negus.

I haven't read any precedence on that. Would hate to lose my current job for something that isn't a sure shot, take that double L
