I recall submitting my race with an application to Snapchat and a "diversity" representative was handling my process.

Edgecase. Usually when Diversity recruiters are involved they actually do recruiting events and or have diversity targeted job postings.

The avg job posting usually isnt targeted for diversity hires but to your point there is chance you could be flagged BUT that data from what I understand isnt supposed to be used for dictating who they will hire but more so having data on who is applying so if hired they have that data.

Same situation. The lady sent a blast email earlier this week explaining why it's took so long too receive our vouchers & that we would finally get them by Thursday. It's Friday & she still has sent the vouchers.

I'm going to start slowly applying to jobs again. The position I'm in now is too low level. And the one or two interesting projects are moving way too slowly.

I've only been at this place for 5 months.

You did course 5 yet? What scripting language did they teach in that course?

RUBY

I don't see much similarity between command line scripting and object oriented programming like Ruby.
In fact In Course 2 a lot of is all about command line in windows and Linux so you should fly through that.
So the fact that they have an entire separate course just for Ruby should let you know.

I find it odd as well because google doesn't even use Ruby in-house. But honestly all those OOP languages use similar syntax. So going to C or java or python shouldn't be a hassle

They dropped course 5 from the Google IT Support certificate program a couple weeks ago:

FAQ Google IT Support Versioning Update

Google IT Support Professional Certificate Updates - May 21, 2018

We’re excited to announce that an updated version of the Google IT Support Professional Certificate is now available!

Starting May 21, 2018, Course 5 — IT Automation: It’s not that scary! — is no longer a requirement to complete the certificate program. This is because we’ve heard from learners and employers that automation is not typically required for entry-level IT Support roles. As such, you will not need to complete the automation course to earn the certificate. You now only need to successfully complete the other five courses to finish the program.
