Could your name make it harder to get a job?

What’s in a name when you’re applying for a job? Does your name impact your hire ability?

In 2012 researchers conducted an experiment sending out fictional applications for real jobs. On some they used English-sounding names and on others they used names that sounded stereotypically Indigenous, Italian, Chinese and Middle Eastern. They found that these applicants were less likely to score an interview than those with English sounding names.

Other research has found that when employers were presented with otherwise identical resumes, women were at least 30 percent less likely to be interviewed than men.

So what can be about it? How do we take race and gender out of recruitment and out of the workplace - to ensure that everyone gets treated fairly and gets to be who they are?

In today's news headlines:

  • Top WHO scientist warns young, healthy people may not get vaccine until 2021
  • Discussions on plan to bring more stranded Aussies home delayed
  • Victoria nudges Australian jobless rate up to 6.9 percent
  • Biden, Trump field questions from voters in lieu of second debate
