I read a facebook post yesterday where someone said the three biggest biases against job seekers is ageism, sizeism, and anit-americanism. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/18/technology/h1b-visa-facts-tech-worker.html

Know why more people prefer to take on a $40,000 white collar job over a $70,000 blue collar job? Image!! I disagree. I think the biggest issue is lack of awareness and access to training.

Thought I would share this article loaded with helpful networking tips. This one is my favorite… “Take the time to jot down a note about a particular point you discussed with recruiters so you can send a tailored, follow-up email to them that evening.” Good stuff for anyone interviewing for a new job this season.
