Thanks so much for this episode! As someone who’s been applying to jobs and not hearing back, it’s really depressing to hear that AI is probably weeding me out because of the name on my resume. I mean, how do we even combat this as individuals who need a damn job? I’m all for uniting to demand a better system—but sometimes, I’m just too exhausted by the things keeping me down to stand up. And I know that I have it better than many, many others. Sigh. I know we’ve got no answers but I really appreciate your perspective and sharing these different stories about what’s really happening in the job market. Thank you!
Irina! Thank you so much for listening and commenting! There is a law in NYC that has attempted to curb this kind of discrimination but its going to be a hard thing to implement and I wonder if there are other ways. Thank you again. This fight is a long one,.
