Lmao no fr, that's good though, treat them like the real people that they are but recoup and keep it professional. If your boss can't even show that side of them not sure it's a boss I even want.

Still can't believe one user made a thread asking what he should say after an old friend hit him up

You're absolutely right with that last paragraph. That was honestly one of the biggest things I was nervous about. As a black man, especially one in the process of growing dreads, entering into a super professional environment talking with old white men is always nerve wracking to me. I feel like the second they see the face behind the resume they're passing off judgement.

That's also how I was raised. Before my dreads I always had an afro and my dad used to give me a lot of s*** saying I needed to keep a clean cut fade if I ever wanted to make it anywhere.

We all gotta start somewhere. 25 today 35 in 5 years. Congrats fam

somebody made a thread today asking what to say after a kid gave them a compliment
a little kid got this dude anxiety flaring up

ktt really got the social skills of a brick wall

I hate interviews, congrats

Yeah they suck, but when you lack certs and other qualifications that can be your best leg up on your competition. When he told me the lady before me had a bachelor's in architecture I was like well s*** what you talking to me for?

pls no bully.

Glad to see you enter the industry. I’m sure it needs more people like you and hopeful this company is an open-minded one that is truly accepting of all cultures.

Flat out we need to stop telling black and brown people to change their appearance in order to be ‘professional’ and this is something I’ve been fighting for the past couple of years. I’m black and latino and have been told countless times to shave my beard and dress differently if I ever wanted to succeed. These days I make a point to keep my beard and dress however I want. I know I’m a professional person and my work speaks for itself. I shouldn’t have to change because the corporate world never asks white people to change ever.

Fellow black and latino ❤️ I know jobs be confused as hell when they see a Mexican last name and my black ass show up

But yeah absolutely agree with that and it's been something I've been heavy on myself. Like dreads is something I've wanted since I was a kid, and it hurts to think embracing my culture is actively hurting me career wise where as like you said white people are never told to change themselves. They are the picture of professionalism that all other races should follow. We're a long ways off, but all Brothas like us can do is keep growing ourselves professionally and hope to shake that mindset one employer at a time.
