Discriminated Against Because Of Your Name?

What's in a name? That is what one man tried to prove when he had a hard time finding a job online. So how did he do it?

José Zamora was like many Americans. He was hunting for a job and using the internet to apply. As Zamora told Buzzfeed he was applying to about 50-100 jobs a day for weeks, but nothing was happening. So José got an idea.

He decided to drop the é from his name and apply to some of the same jobs as Joe Zamora. And the results were pretty dramatic.

Within a week Zamora says his inbox was full of responses!

So exact same resume, with just a slight change to his name and suddenly companies were ready to bring him in for an interview. Zamora says he doesn't

even think people know or are conscious or aware that they're judging -- even if it's by name "

But what do you think?

Studies show that whether they do it consciously or sub-consciously, companies tend to discriminate against names that sound black or Latino. According to the New York Times, several applicants have found that "whitening" their resume went a long way to getting a callback or interview.

So has this scenario ever happened to you? Do you think most companies are discriminating based on an applicants name?
