Now it's personal pronouns and gender. Seeing more and more on resumes. I didn't ask if you were "genderqueer", don't care and it has nothing to do with our open front end dev position.
- nudiustertian 7y agoThe point is that thats what the candidate is requesting to used in conversation and when referring to that candidate. It's a courtesy thing
- i80and 7y agoListing their pronouns prevents candidates from being misgendered while hiring staff discuss them. Makes sense to me.
- yholio 7y agoImagine trying to create a pronouns dopdown into some employer form. You either fix the list, and inevitably be accused of lack of gender sensitivity when a new pronoun starts to be used; or leave it free form, and run the risk of some candidates entering "their magnificence, Klingon commander" as their preferred pronoun.
- beisner 7y agoI don’t see a problem with that
- objectivetruth 7y agoWhat exactly is the risk in the second case? That people can choose how to identify themselves? If prospective employees are filling out the form, that's up to them to take it seriously or not.
- par 7y agowow you sound pretty aggressive about something that is quite innocuous.
- cronix 7y agoI was stating an observation about things people (voluntarily) currently put on resumes (not applications where things have actual questions/predetermined choices) that don't have anything to do with the job. To us, gender is irrelevant in terms of a job, just like height/weight/previous salary, which is what I was responding to. You seem to have a very loose definition of aggressive.
