I normally skip the application asking about race and gender on an application but making it required is a no no. I have seen some with the option -I prefer not to answer but some do not have that option available and a red asterisk so you have to answer! What purpose does it serve? It's just weird to me.

Doesn't it have to do with something about demographic and equal hiring practices or something like that? I usually answer it but I'm not sure if I'm doing myself a disservice by doing so.

I never answer it and i came across an application last night that required it. I chose prefer not to answer. I'll surprise them during the interview lol

I don't think the company even sees your answers. It's for government purposes, and employers don't see your responses. So feel free to leave it blank if you want, but don't be so stressed about it reflecting on your job application

ok thanks!

I always answer it. If whatever my answer is leaves to be rejected and decline, great! I dont want to work in that environment anyway.

When we "had" to fulfill DEI initiatives we had to interview at least one Black or Hispanic person for the role. Sometimes we had to interview female candidates for the role.
If the person who interviewed didn't identify as XYZ we would need to keep interviewing until we met the posting criteria.

Then there are roles where the manager wanted to switch up the team by adding a female into a male dominated field for a different perspective on the team.

The newer applications even ask your sexuality now and offers TEN different choices 😂

Anyone available to review my resume/guide me through this job search? I’ve been applying places for the past 6 months and am not getting responses.
