Are you female?
Are you a minority?
Are you homosexual?
Are you Asian?

No, maybe, no, and no.
I think I can technically claim 'Hispanic' and 'Indian' (Native American, for the PC), though I've never really claimed them.

If so, the HR software will pick up those words when screening resumes, so, be sure to list that info someplace, like under “Activities” where you were secretary of some female group, or president of The Black Students Society, or President of the universities GLBTXYZ Club.

I don't think I have an 'activities' section; quite frankly it's not relevant to employment.

White male? Hardly any chance. [...] No incentive to hire white males.

That I can believe; it rubs against my more idealistic nature though: race should have near-zero to do with getting hired.

” I don’t think I have an ‘activities’ section;”

How about the section where you list your leadership experiences, club associations, hobbies, whatever, things like that. Being young you would include such things. Old guys like me, not so much as we already have a full CV.

“quite frankly it’s not relevant to employment. “

Indeed.

After fauxihontas won and will be a US Senator for Life, we should all go back and examine our family trees. There must be something there...
