How DEI language on applications affects your salary

  • Summary

  • You could be limiting your ability for interviews by the language used on your resume.
    Cassie Whitlock, the Chief People Officer at Diversify, says companies are shifting toward skill based hiring vs pedigree educations. Both employers and employees need to be aware of their brand, and what are you trying to accomplish in your job search / job description.

    Susan Speirs, the CEO of Utah Association of CPAs, says it's important to understand what DEI really means:
    D
    iversity = skills & background, gender identity, age, race, culture, etc.
    Equity = everyone has the tools they need to complete the same job, no matter the impediments (too short, too tall, scocio-economic, etc).
    Inclusion = you are part of the team, your input matters.

    You can use free websites to run job description postings and resumes through in order to edit out some potientionally off-putting language.
