I think we are sharing a very similar viewpoint.
What I meant by this is that you have to "fit" that culture and that by not "being" part of it you won't get hired even if you're trying your best.
- simonh 6y agoI'm afraid that comes across in an unfortunate way. So women can't fit that culture by trying their best to be part of it by sounding like white men, but only by being part of it - by being white men? I'm not going to go off the rails here, I understand you're trying to offer constructive advice and this conclusion wasn't what you intended. Nevertheless I think it's clear the onus needs to be on employers to try to identify and remediate biases in their hiring practices.
- Raphmedia 6y agoI agree that's it's far from perfect. Those companies with very narrow cultures should be more open to diversity and I strongly believe they would benefit from it. That being said, as a woman, that's a company I'd skip instead of lying my way in and then hating my daily life. I've worked in a company with such a culture before and hated my years there. I thought my presence would change things - it didn't.
