Bad Luck Was All He Had Job-Hunting Until He Dropped One Single Letter In His Name. Not Cool.

What's in a name? Well, maybe a lot, since this guy's job search took a surprising turn when a crucial edit to his name made prospective employers see him in a whole different way.


He says that maybe the way people reacted to his real name was unconscious. He may be being too kind.





I'm looking forward to sharing this with friends — it's a helpful reminder to check our own hearts for unconscious prejudice, right?




This "oh, c'mon!" video was made by BuzzFeed.
