Study: LGBT Info on Resume Means Fewer Responses
In the study, two fake résumés were sent to employers, and the applicant with a history of LGBT activism got fewer responses despite listing more qualifications.
TRUDY RING- JULY 05 2014

"Having clues on your résumé that you might be lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender — such as a history of LGBT activism — can definitely cost you a job, according to a new study.
