Been there, done all that. They forgot Step 7: Create an Indian sounding name for your resume.

For the past 3 months I have been conducting a personal survey as I send out resumes. I have one resume with my American Name and one with a (fake) Indian Name. The resumes are identical for everything else. I send both out for the same job (from different email accounts).

Guess which one gets the most responses? Yup, the Indian Name one! Not just the most, by the way. The vaste majority.

The vaste majority.

Snap out of your Indian mode. You combine "caste" and "vast"

As an IT recruiter I find that hard to believe.
