imagine being told you have to tell a sob story to get a job and then if you get it showing up to work with people who know very private details about your life that you wouldn’t have otherwise shared. these statements are so dehumanizing. https://twitter.com/og_chika/status/1341794609651957760

non-profits & law schools also have this problem...

I didn’t write a sob story for firms, but I did for law school. It’s been four years, but I still sometimes think about the law schools where my app was sent for faculty review and how weird it would’ve been if I’d gone there and professors could’ve easily guessed who I was.
