Comment on 25% of hiring managers are less likely to move forward with Jewish applicants

Comments

If this is really true - and frankly I’m not sure I buy it completely (though I do partially) - well, then, fuck those guys.

I like Jews.

They’ve always been really nice to me despite my brash Texas attitude and total disrespect of social graces. Every Jewish person I’ve met has been really down to earth, nice, and intelligent. Obviously that can’t apply to each and every one of them - they’re human beings, after all, just like everyone else - but that’s been my experience, and it’s one I’m eager to repeat.

Sadly, however, I am not a hiring manager.

I wish it was possible to definitively identify the people who sincerely refuse to hire Jewish folks, just so I know which companies not to bother applying to. After all, I’m a Texan. As such, I have an extremely low tolerance for bullshit.

And bigotry, in any form for any reason, is most assuredly bullshit.
