Sorry i am honestly pissing myself laughing at my desk envisioning your resume with a "check out the gun show" selfie on it.

It was a leftover from my days working in retail where they actually did want a photo or at least wanted to know what you looked like. But yeh, it was pretty cringe in hindsight
Hey even Donna Chang in Seinfeld wasnt Asian.
Same with Cameron Ling.
It's a thing these days....... photo of themselves in a job application?
LOL. Thanks for the heads up, Xiao May Pang.
Yep, I’ve been noticing more and more too; it’s weird.What's also a thing is now a profile shot on work emails. Apparently to help with familiarity and remembering names. I will go with cringeworthy.
"Social media influencer"-Listed as a skill or aptitude as a vocational tool.
What would be funny is if a red head with freckles showed up.
Have made that mistake before. Never blindly guess.
(As in someone had Anglo Parents and spoke in a distinct accent so I assumed they were from the same region. But parents were expats and they were born and grew up in Asia and thus for all intents and purposes considered themselves Asian).
Perhaps full frontal nudity shots are the way to goWith a greater mix of cultures here now there are more mixed marriages, also.
Not uncommon for someone's name to not match your preconception of their face.
Names like Lee and Sam are common Anglo names, but if Lee Smith marries Andrew Chen and becomes Lee Chen it immediately sounds Chinese. If someone called Lee Chen turns up with red hair and freckles you'd definitely be surprised. I do enjoy meeting someone with a very uncommon or stereotypically non Anglo name that greets you with an ocker accent. Like hearing Majak Daw speak. The footy media make out like North plucked him out of the desert or something but if you heard him on the phone you'd think he was a 45 year old boilermaker.
There are plenty of unisex names as well. Shannon, Alex, Lee/Leigh, Chris could easily be a man or woman. I've been surprised a few times before meeting someone after email correspondence to find out they are the opposite sex of what I thought.

lol. What's next get them to sit on a couch and treat it like a casting call?
I wonder how much of an effect changing your name has as a woman (or man if you do that).
If you are Cheng one day and Smith the next, do (new) people react differently? I bet if you are a white girl named Smith and then take a common indigenous surname like Garlett or Ugle or an Arabic name like Al-Shawari-something (yeah I'm not good at Arabic names) that you would notice some differences. Haven't come across many 'Sarah Mohammeds' though.

SBS vice had a French crime show set in the future called nuWatch 9Life 10.30pm Thursdays BR. I'm sure you would be a fan.
There's been anecdotal studies, like a woman her put Samantha on some resumes and Sam on others, and got many more responses with the male name. Likewise, some black Americans played with names that were considered stereotypical and got very different responses.I wonder how much of an effect changing your name has as a woman (or man if you do that).
