Date: July 29th, 2010 10:22 PM Author: Heady maroon parlor I'm in a secondary market. Last summer, my firm as a first step immediately weeded out the resumes of those who had no connection to the area. Then they focused on grades. Targeting a whole bunch of places trying to get a bite is not a good idea. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1381610&forum_id=2#15648620) |

Date: July 29th, 2010 5:13 PM Author: cerebral purple university faggotry Yes, it really doesn't matter as much as you think. I'm trying for fairs but striking out.

It's mostly just a goodwill thing that firms can't afford now. Firms are hiring people based on the merits now, and if anything I would guess traditional racism may even outweigh AA and lead firms to hire a white guy over an equally qualified URM for the first time in at least 15 years.

If they give you the option of emailing, talking on the phone, or meeting in person go with in person, then phone, then email (should be obvious)
Don't spend the whole conversation asking questions about their job. Be cool, talk about something interesting.
