There are so many angles to explore while discussing institutional bias, and you can only talk about a few at a time. Lizette Ojeda, PhD. is my guest today to discuss research and strategies to overcome bias during a job search. 
 

 Here’s how you can join the conversation:

– Call and leave a voicemail at 708-365-9822, or text your comments to the same number
– Go to TheVoiceofJobSeekers.com, press the “Send Voicemail” button on the right side of your screen and leave a message
– Send email feedback to mark@thevoiceofjobseekers.com

More about Lizette:

Career Psychologist for Executive Women in STEM who want to reignite their career, fulfill their true potential & have a balanced life. She is also a Professor at Texas A & M University. 

Highlights of our discussion: 

  • Studies show that during the hiring process ethnic names are at a disadvantage when compared to traditional Anglo-Saxon names
  • “We are all conditioned to have assumptions”
  • “…recognize it and act on it without letting it affect you as much as you possibly control”
  •   Biases vary by industry – gender, ethnicity, and race are enhanced if it’s a dominant male industry
  • Hair is a very personal thing and biases toward hair (like dreadlocks) make it personal
  • The song “Signs” was referenced during our conversation showing biases toward hair is nothing new
  • Location, area codes, are subject to bias because of where you live has a reputation
  • Episode 42 was referenced because of the discussion on name bias
  • Lizette shares several strategies on how people of color can find diverse, friendly companies
Two more shows before the end of the season. My annual podcast hiatus is from June 1 – Sept. 10. The newsletter will continue to be sent out to those on the mailing list at least once a month. I will continue to publish articles on the blog at least twice a month.
