hiring demographics

[aero11]

Does anyone know whether gender or race play a role in the hiring process?

 

[Radium]

I cant tell you the official answer..

unofficially, hell yes they do. Dont be a white male

 

[aero11]

Haha..I will take whatever edge I can get

It's called "Diversity".

 

[GUYONABUFFALO]

I think "Diversity" was an old wooden ship .. Any employer that takes federal funds is responsible for meeting certain demographics within their hiring profile. In other words, if you are a female from the Sioux indian reservation you will be hired yesterday even if you can not do the job. Have to love America

i thought the rumor was that starting either this cycle or last cycle name, race, sex and disability was not going to be seen by the hiring board??? did i misunderstand something

Confused white male

They can't discriminate you for race, gender, sexual orientation, etc...

That being said if you have two candidates who have identical grades and background, only difference is one is a white male and another is an African American female then I think they would pick her first

well then im just gonna have to lie about my race and gender on my app

Bulletproof plan, imo.

CF where in Chi are you from?

I remember reading a while back that part of the reasoning for hiring OTS was to help meet the diversity requirement. Apparently CTI and VRA just pumps out white dudes left and right.

I was wondering why I never get the call back from HR on all the jobs I apply for

I'm a female, and it hasn't helped me much either.

I got my TOL 8 months ago for ZAU. I did my interview with the Air Traffic manager at Midway, seems like a great guy to work with. Great view of downtown Chicago from the tower..
