how do you guys know?
Heard from multiple people, even some employers. One even told me "think about it, you think a white or asian not gonna put that in there especially when they the ones getting called back the most"
Had me like
:patrice:
My advice, just check black and if they call you, they call you. You wouldn't wanna work for a place that wouldn't hire you for that reason anyway. Good luck

Also, what kind of jobs are you looking for? You rarely see the race box on applications these days?

Na of course don't do that. Just gotta keep trying. You gon get it. Know it's easier said than done but you gotta stay positive. Engineering is a good career. Once you in, you set.

Just put down black.

1.) My name, while a lot of black men seem to have the same first and last name (google confirms), it doesn't fail the sniff test if someone is on that :mjpls:

2.) My interview game is superb. Managed to luck into a job that can turn into a career off the strength of a recommendation(VERY important) and a stellar interview.
My resume is nothing to sneeze at either.

If you are good at your shyt and can talk a good game, you can end up in places you have no business being. Personality >>>>> Talent.
