Tyrell, a Black man, and Jason, a white man, both apply to a job. They have the same employment history, went to the same college, have the same major, and the same GPA. They are remarkably comparable candidates applying for the exact same job. Both send in their resumes with this information, and the only thing different about their resumes is their name. Given what we learned about the findings from the study “Are Emily and Greg More Employable than Lakisha and Jamal?” what is the likely outcome of their applications? a. Tyrell and Jason will be evaluated similarly, and race will not matter since they do not have to denote their race on applications b. Simply sending in a resume is not effective for getting a callback for anyone of any race; you need personal contacts to get the position c. Jason will likely get a callback while Tyrell likely will not because employers assume race in the applications based on their names d. Tyrell and Jason will both likely get callbacks, but Jason will move ahead in the interview process after the initial interview while Tyrell will not
