Is removing your name from a CV the death of the CV rather than the death of discrimination?
Is the name removal legislation suggested by Lynne Featherstone the final nail in the coffin for the CV or is @andyheadworth just courting controversy for some additional traffic to his blog? Or are the CIPD and REC actually supporting a good idea and some/most are just missing the point entirely? Andy Headworth makes some valid points but taking first school as an example, if I went to school in Hong Kong what does that say? Am I Chinese? Am I an expat-brat? Is my first school even important? If I have a degree should I say where from? People are discriminated against depending on which university they went to - does this need to be stopped? The government are reducing the number of university places for privately educated children - is this not discrimination
