I had to vlook up that "vlook it up" reference. But yes, I will it.
I guess I'll apply, furiously consume Excel tutorials in time between applying and getting (if I'm lucky) an interview, and then bullshit my way through said interview and pretend to know what I'm doing. Thing is, I'm pretty sure there's a lot of shit one can do on Excel, so I don't even know how to go about learning it. |

i've googled my way through learning many programs. holler at me when you level up to learning pivot tables on excel, though. i had a great time last year figuring that shit out. it was fun for boring shit. basically, a pivot table provides a custom summary of more extensive data and you can view sums, averages, and other statistics across a wide range of sheets. it generates simpler charts with just the information you specify and then you can make visual graphs for those. so fun!
i was doing data analysis across three school sites (same school-3 diff. sites) and we had piles of information on the parents (immigration status, education, job, job sector, survey results, etc.) and school (demographics, family advocate name, etc). after cleaning up and reconciling the data, we could ask ourselves any question to create a pivot chart. like, what is the highest level education for parents across each school? what sectors are these groups in? it was for a workforce development pilot program and they were trying to figure out what the individual needs were for each site. anyway, it was pretty fun to fuck around with after a while. |

Oh boy, I'm a dum-dum.
The résumé I sent off used typefaces that weren't system defaults, and I forgot to embed them in the file. It's going to look like shit on their end, but hopefully their systems mitigates this by at least not choosing some script font to replace mine. Or maybe I should send a follow-up email requesting that to they download the free Google font families "Poppins" and "Montserrat." Yeah, I usually advise against mixing two different typefaces of the same style, but somehow, this combination worked out. |

Hmm. I just opened the file on my phone, on which I haven't installed any fonts, and everything still looks correct. Maybe the fonts automatically embed? Hopefully.

I would sooner have my résumé auto-assigned to the void than manually assigned to it by a human hiring manager unimpressed by my unintentional use of AdobeSansMM with nonsensical spacing, overlapping text, and an extra page for the last six words of my résumé.

To this end, we especially encourage those from under-represented populations in tech and industry to apply.

Okay, so what's a subtle way of indicating that I'm a minority on my résumé and they should hire me? |

Make up an 'ethnic' sounding name that matches your middle initial and just keep going with it for the rest of your life
Like Joseph Jamal Lastname insert stereotypical matching name of your choice |

No need to be too subtle.
"I, as an underrepresented group in tech and industry, love to be cultivated in a supportive culture!" |

Embed a photograph somewhere near the biological summary as if it were the LinkedIn profile it kind of is. I'm not sure that modern humans will even find it weird at this point.

companies have to put that junk about inclusion, but they don't typically live by it and are only proactive about hiring "diverse" candidates if there is a monetary incentive. example: i worked in a majority white newsroom and instead of hiring people of color as journalists as a matter of course, they started writing proposals for grants that would pay the salary for a person of color to participate in a fellowship. sounds nice, but it's shitty.

“This is a major point of our research—that you are at an even greater risk for discrimination when applying with a pro-diversity employer because you’re being more transparent,” DeCelles says. “Those companies have the same rate of discrimination, which makes you more vulnerable when you expose yourself to those companies.” |

This is that character, apparently.
