Well, I would agree with her. What you aren't considering is during the screening process, the name can be a problem. The child may not be aware of it since they'll never make it to the interview in the first place.

On the same note, if you are 55 years old and looking for a programming job, good luck. Best thing you can do is hide it if possible. (Maybe keep your resume down to one page, this will help hide just how long you have been doing your job.)

There are things on a resume that will work against you. This woman is wise to consider such things in advance.

A friend of mine who worked at an employment agency told me that they used to bypass the resumes that had obviously black names.
