The Politics of Self-Disclosure: Identity in the Application Process

Navigating identity disclosure in the application process is uncharted territory for many—and these people are here to give insight! This “fishbowl” panel will include a professional from a locally-based global company, an attorney familiar with employment law, an EEOC HR Rep, and a career services professional who will engage in a moderated conversation followed by followed by a Q and A session all about identity in the application process. Questions like, “Should I tell them I am pregnant?”, “I am a woman married to a woman… Should I hide that until I am hired?”, “I changed my name, but it is not legal yet. What name do I put on my resume?”, “Should I cover my tattoos?”, and, “I volunteer at my mosque every week. Can I put that on my resume?” will be discussed among panelists. Responses from our panelists will invite attendees to consider options and make intentional choices in their own application process.
