I've had the anti-privilege of observing some of the hiring practices used by employers.  It's really quite horrifying.  I've seen bosses discard resumes simply for being too long or for having grammar mistakes (which I sort of agree with).  I've seen resumes get tossed aside because the person's name wasn't easily pronounced.  I'm sure this isn't the case at all places of employment, but it was still disturbing to think that this is how employers make hiring decisions.  When I was in college, working my butt off to graduate and get a job that would affect the rest of my life, I never thought I was putting my future in the hands of total idiots.  And even though employers make it clear that they don't discriminate and instead provide equal opportunity to everyone, it's just not true.  That might be the overall corporate policy, but on the ground level, the decisions are made by people who don't need to justify their decisions.  On the one hand, that's good because employers won't need to hire certain people simply to fill quotas.  But on the other hand, you could be glossing over the next Nobel Laureate simply because his name has no vowels. #business
