re: Resumes including ‘they/them’ pronouns are more likely to be overlooked

Any pronouns or other made up shite goes directly in to the trash.

The other 20% are wrong

I'm have been seeing more and more resumes doing this. Especially in Cali, schools are teaching this. I will not throw away a resume due to this, and will treat them as any other potential employee.

They don't belong.

i get what you’re saying, but once hired, being treated equally isn’t going to be nearly good enough. i’ve seen it.

As a hiring person, I agree with this.

I don't want to introduce any more drama or unnecessary bullshite than what is already typically found in the work place.

Hiring one of these flip-floppers is asking for trouble more times than not. I don't give two shits about your gender. And I don't give three shits about your sexual preference. Why? Because I am in a work environment.

But I sure as hell am not interviewing you if you put this on your resume. It's a waste of my time.

That seems fair because those employees are more likely to be difficult

This is actually very timely for me. I just put an offer out today for a candidate I interviewed for a consultant position.

She had a men's haircut, wore a men's dress shirt in the interview, and had men's style wedding band. She absolutely killed her interview and was by far my best candidate.


You know what she didn't have? A stupid made up name or pronouns on her resume. She's smart enough like the rest of us to know a resume isn't the time or place to scream for your attention.
