私だったらHiring Managerを困らせない為に「Thank you very much for interviewing me. I enjoyed talking with you. Please let me know if there are any opportunities in the future.」で終わらせて、他の仕事にアプライします。
Now a newly released study from Canada adds some detail on just how hard it is for people with recognizably ethnic names to even get their feet in the door at many companies, — despite being highly qualified and educated at the same schools as other employees.
A new analysis from the University of Toronto and Ryerson University shows that equally qualified applicants with “Asian” names — a broad category that includes names perceived as originating in India, Pakistan, or China — were 28% less likely to score an interview at Canadian companies than applicants with “Anglo” names, even when all the job candidates had been educated and employed in Canada.
“This means that for every 100 calls received by applicants with Anglo names, applicants with Asian names received only 72.2,” the researchers wrote.
The researchers suggested that discrimination was the only possible reason for the difference in employers’ choice of candidates, since all the candidates has similar qualifications, including equivalent degrees. All had also lived and worked in Canada all their lives.
The data included examples of Anglo-Canadian names like “Greg Johnson” and “Emily Brown”; Indian names used included “Samir Sharma” and “Tara Singh”; Pakistani names included “Ali Saeed” and “Hina Chaudhry,” and Chinese names included “Lei Li” and “Xuiying Zhang.” The researchers seem to have only examined fully ethnic names and said they did not carefully examine the outcomes for people with Anglicized first names combined with Asian-sounding last names.
