This was definitely a trigger for me.
A few years ago, I had some great email exchanges about a position. I was an experienced dev, and I knew what they were looking for. But to make it official, I had to go through their HR person.
This was the first time I was going to talk to someone from the company, live in a video call.
And the moment we jumped on a call, her first words were, "Do you have a green card?"
I was born here. One look at my skin color and that was her question.
No worries. I've seen plenty of job postings for POC LGBTQWTF "STRONGLY URGED TO APPLY." You should be fine.
Sure, Jan.
