I am caucasian young male and for the first time in my life I can honestly say I have felt discriminated at the university and nearly impossible to get a part time job. <br />After getting so many rejections for part time jobs, a friend and I decided to test the market. We edited my personal CV. One with my american name and one with a swedish name/surname. We sent the SAME CVs to 30 companies who were advertising job positions via the internet. With the american name I had 17 companies who replied with negative answer and zero positive. With the Swedish name I received 19 negative replies and 6 positive replies for interview or next stage.Bohemian Thinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17650909630026211589noreply@blogger.com
