Do you honestly think the name of this person's city is the reason why recruiters aren't biting?

  Is it worthwhile to point out that humans have biases? When someone is looking at two similar candidates? Is it fair? Why didn't the Chevy Nova sell well in South America? No logical reason. Besides confusing things that have nothing to do with each other because of the name. But living thousands of miles away from where you want to work says to a recruiter "too hard, pick another candidate from the pool of 400,000 applicants"

    I 100% agree that the recruiter would have an adverse reaction to a city name that they have a difficult time pronouncing. I disagree that a recruiter is going to look at a city named "Rehab" and think "hmm... might be a drug addict" even subliminally.
