Name gives A LOT of information. For example,
1. Was the first name misspelled at birth?
2. Does a female first name end in “isha”?
I have a friend from Michigan who worked in HR. She says all resumes that met either of those were instantly thrown in the trash
Haven’t you heard that NAACP radio ad. the one where two white women are talking about a black friend who’s just had a baby? And one of them says, “I hope she doesn’t give the baby one of ‘those’ names.”
NAACP-Approved White Woman: “What do you mean?”
NAACP-Unapproved White Woman: “You know, like ‘Shaneekwa’ or ‘Jacqueeta’... It only makes it harder for them, you know what I mean?”
NAACP-Approved White Woman: “No. I don’t know what you mean.”
Yeah, those indicators mean “trouble employee”.
