Thanks for the invite Sadya. However, I list among the pessimistic Gen X'ers. I don't know if I'd have any chicken for the soup. :-)

I think it's because on some level, the author of such a book would have to believe in the existence of the human soul.

Today I was helping someone apply for her dream job. I've been mentoring her for about three months now. I didn't find out til today that she is black. She said she took everything off her resume that might give it away - like, she was president of a black student organization, but she took off the black part when she wrote it in her resume. Her career counseling offfice told her to do that. I can understand why they told her that advice. I was surprised, though. What do you guys think?

Does having my picture up alter people's perceptions of my work or willingness to work with me? If it happens offline is it safe to say it happens online as well?

I agree that you do want to increase your chance of getting your foot in the door. If that means downplaying characteristics that may inadvertently hurt your chances of gaining a “dream job”, so be it. Change can happen, but it occurs from the inside and that’s hard to do if your name hurts your chance of even getting in. @Kim I think you are bringing an honest perspective to this question. Thanks for the articles. Gen Y’s view on the race issue is a grave improvement then previous generations but the world we live in is not solely Gen Y. Institutional racism still exists and at the end of the day in order to have a chance at success you must know the rules of engagement; which might be being Roger instead of Rahj. @ Sean That is the world we are striving to live in.
