    Hey, while we’re at it… let’s all remove profile pictures from LinkedIn.

      In fact, let’s just remove LinkedIn.

        No thanks. For all it’s defects, it got me my last two jobs, more than doubling my salary.

    I was really expecting a much more ethnic sounding name than Dwight Jackson.

      I’ve met plenty of white people named either Dwight or Jackson.

    With the insane number of applications any posting gets these days (I’ve heard thousands within minutes of posting) it’s going to be really hard to prove they even saw his resume the first time.

        You would be wrong most likely. People set up bots to just spam their applications to every posting it finds.
