It's a cold hard fact that you may face bias in the job market. But, usually, the bias isn't something obvious like race or ethnicity. More often, it's more subtle like age (too young or too old), sex, a perceived misfit with the company culture, or other unconscious assumptions. That's why it's important to face up to these biases, prepare for them, and turn them to your advantage. This book has all the ammunition you need to defeat bias and turn it to your advantage.

We're all upset when someone is biased against us unfairly. An employer may feel we're too young for a job or too old or think the schools we attended aren't prestigious enough. There are many different biases, some conscious and some unconscious. But, the key to handling biases is not to get upset over them; the key is to turn the bias around into a positive for yourself and show employers that you're a dynamic professional who's perfect for the job. Apply the guidelines for handling bias in this book, and you'll soon be that consummate professional who succeeds in the job market no matter what the odds!
