   I seem to remember havingthis discussion with the finance guy of the student government I worked for at school. I didn't want to mark down the info. He told me that he would then be instructed by the government to have me observed for racial and sexual characteristics. Or something like thta. Pretty creepy.

   Online form to record info

   

   Russ Little, Sep 17th, 2002 @ 2:53pm

   
   

   I work for a company that had this same problem with hundreds of online applicants per job posting. It was becoming a major headache to send them all surveys. HR decided that if they apply online they can fill out the survey online. So we built a little web based database app that they can send out in response to an online application that asks the applicant to fill out all of the demographic information they would like to share.
   HR can use the web based tool to view the results and download them for reporting. They estimate this has saved them thousands of dollars in postage alone, not to mention hundreds of hours to create the mailing lists and open the returned surveys and enter the data.
   Pretty easy solution.

   Who would have believed?

   Who would have believed?
   I thought it was a joke but it wasn’t.
   
   Scenario:
   I applied a Jobs using the may real name – never received a call for even a phone interview
   I applied the same day with a different name, different layout same resume did received a e-mail followed by phone call
   
   By the way I have tried this method for 3 different companies and it worked
   If you do not believe me try your self- use very strange name then use the very ….. Name
   
   Who would have thought a MBA graduate & Computer science graduate for accredited US University will first be judged by it color and the originality for even an entry level job?
   
   Thought of changing name ---- well… no!
   I will keep trying until those who believe, it is not a color or origin that define work performance
   Until then I will keep try!
   
   Anyone out there!!

    Disclosing Race for Online Applications

    

    Michelle, Jan 19th, 2010 @ 9:51am

    
    

    I find it ridiculous that we have gone so far as to rquire companies to keep track of race on job applications! I want a company to hire me for my expertise, not my skin color. Online provides the best anonymity a job applicant could ask for. I mean realistically how can somone complain of discrimination by e-mail or electronic submission unless of course you are REQUIRED to tell people you are hispanic, black, or white. Without this requirement companies would be forced to chose the best candidate for the position and consider nothing else. Have we lost our senses?
