What is the idea behind an anonymous CV?

An anonymous CV is to consider only the skills and experience of the candidates and not other factors , such as age, sex, racial and social background. This is to tackle the discrimination.

1the ability to make decisions and take action

e.g. Carlos was not obeying orders, He acted on his own initiative(= he was not told what to do)

2control

3law

4plan

rule out : 排除、消除

在这里表示消除种族歧视的可能性

rule out the possibility of discrimination

Exercise 6

1 Yes, of course. For example, in anonymous CV, all people are equal before the prospective employers. Prejudice and perceived ideas don’t get in way in employers making the decision on who is the best candidate for a job. Employers will focus more on the candidate’s skills and qualities and experience.

2 This scheme does not attack the problem of the discrimination at the root. An anonymous CV cannot rule out the possibility of discrimination once the candidate arrives for an interview. Actually in my opinion, lectures about achievements make by the black people or Jews should be given to employers to educate them that these people are also great.
