that you learn when you work in the private sector, particularly in small business, that the workday consists of going from crisis and dealing with it on your feet. That’s why you never see an employment ad that looks like this: Wanted: Young Dynamic individual with college experience to join our staff. Looking for motivated self starter. Individuals easily traumatized by national political events welcome. It’s also why if I’m an HR person and I see your name on a college petition demanding this: “As of Thursday evening, over 1,300 students had signed a petition drafted by College junior Kiki Acey and other students of color demanding President Krislov suspend the standard grading system in the aftermath of the high-profile cases of Michael Brown, Eric Garner and Tamir Rice. …I am taking your resume and moving it to the circular file That last thing an employer needs is a person who cracks under pressure and if you are cracking without actually being pressured that’s even worse. And if you are counting on a diversity hire, remember there are plenty of diverse people graduating from colleges who didn’t demand that they be automatically passed.
