Re: Hiring Discrimination?

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

I could probably make myself crazy thinking about all the ways 
I could be discriminated against, starting off with the fact that
my name at the top of my resume shouts out my ethnicity.  The
dividing line I draw in my personal and business life is that I
choose to ignore the possibility of discrimination against me
during the process of job searching and interviewing (there
are enough companies out there that really put what I can do
for them at the top of their priority lists and I don't need the
ones that don't messing with my head), but as an employee 
and a manager I will speak up if I believe I see it in my 
company's policies and I regularly self-examine my own 
internal candidate selection criteria to ensure that I am not 
falling into certain patterns of thinking I find unacceptable.  
I can't fix the world or a company I don't work for, but I 
sure as hell don't have to let myself become part of the 
problem.
