Date: July 29th, 2010 10:22 PM Author: Provocative organic girlfriend mexican I'm in a secondary market. Last summer, my firm as a first step immediately weeded out the resumes of those who had no connection to the area. Then they focused on grades. Targeting a whole bunch of places trying to get a bite is not a good idea. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1381610&forum_id=2#15648620) |

Date: July 29th, 2010 5:13 PM Author: Laughsome hideous azn box office Yes, it really doesn't matter as much as you think. I'm trying for fairs but striking out.

Date: July 29th, 2010 6:15 PM Author: comical violet windowlicker the consensus is that when the economy tanked "diversity" as a priority all but evaporated. It's mostly just a goodwill thing that firms can't afford now. Firms are hiring people based on the merits now, and if anything I would guess traditional racism may even outweigh AA and lead firms to hire a white guy over an equally qualified URM for the first time in at least 15 years.
