You are over-analysing and over-complicating something quite simple.
None of what I described is necessarily my belief or opinion I just described how that sentence can work against a job candidate.
There will be tens of resumes piled up in front of someone who is tired and overworked and they don't have the time or interest to dig into your deep philosophy about the meaning of the sentence.
When there are lots of other options in front of them that don't have the same "problems" they are going to pick those out of caution.
It's asking for a misunderstanding and asking to be skipped/rejected.
You may lose great opportunities because the HR person filtered you out on step 0 because you were so insistent to announce your interest in giving all your love to wonderful women.
- Jugurtha 8y agoAgain, I understand very well the HR angle and know your advice to OP is practical and common sense. We're not debating whether your and other posters' advice are grounded, because they are. I'm not debating the practicality of not putting that sentence in that résumé.. But I wanted to debate what makes that practical. I'm sure there are places where I'd better hide my ethnicity because it'd make me more employable. A counter argument might be to say they're different things, that a sentence like OP's might signal he's a threat to employees and ethnicity isn't, but another argument might be that some people think some ethnic groups are a threat. Anyway. Thanks for the dialogue.
