Could your name stop you getting a job?
There's a great piece by Helen Curry on the Reach blog covering how prejudice about race and gender may affect your chances of success via CV or application form. It looks at several studies suggesting that discrimination continues.
Curry offers some strategies to avoid discrimination including potentially anglicising names or using initials, and actively trying to challenge potential assumptions. But importantly she states that "While it can get your foot in the door, you do have to ask yourself, ‘if this company wouldn’t have looked at me before, do I want to work for them now?’" There is also advice to research employers who "make a positive statement about equal opportunities, with demonstrable results". You can read the full article here.
Although nobody should have to face discrimination, it does still occur. If you want to discuss how these issues are affecting your applications you can chat to one of our advisers. Call us on 01273 678429 to book an appointment, and you can check our vacation opening hours online.
