re: #35 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut
Nobodyโs ever tossed my resume for having a black-sounding name.
I have a gender-neutral name. I once had a job interview (this was in the early โ90โs) in a room full of men. As I entered the conference room, one of the interviewers blurted out โWe were expecting a man!โ
I did not get that job, but what a weird experience that was. I think they actually expected me to apologize for โtrickingโ them or something.
