Interview Experience
Hi everyone:) Studies have shown accent bias to be a significant factor in hiring decisions internationally. As the Job market gets increasingly tougher, I'm writing a term paper at uni to investigate the extent to which the use of regional accents, compared to more neutral ones in Britain, influences the professional self-perception and linguistic identity of job applicants. If you want to support more research on this topic, here's my survey. I'd really appreciate it! Thanks so much:) (Brits only please) link: <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd1RntRxEVkjKOrSbwNHZzkBglTQBhzrGg8GP8pHMxeYjSENg/viewform?usp=dialog)
