Someone who is biologically male but has a female name might have been assumed to be transgender, and transgenders are considered a "disadvantaged" group. | |

Well, that's a theory, anyway. The approach would likely not work with some organizations. That doesn't mean that the method can't work with any organization. | |

I was definitely a lot more qualified for the work at the end of my internship than at the start" - Sounds like a model employee! That company was lucky to have such a motivated, hard-working intern. | |

While I am a male, my name is considered a girl's name in North America. Due to the diversity hiring efforts in the software industry, I have no problem believing that's what got me an interview. Just have to comment this doesn't make sense to me. Suppose company is trying to fill a gender quota (conceivably) they could ring you up because you got a female-sounding name and they want more women. But when you show up to the interview and see you seem to be more masculine than expected why would they give you the job then if theyre trying to do that??
