[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the article: "And maybe, just maybe, we should all try to worry less about the way people speak (or dress or...) and instead try to actually listen to and hear what they're saying.
So vocal fry? Don't vocal fry? Do what you want! Because if our crappy earbud headphones have taught us anything, it's that content matters more than the quality of delivery."[/quote]

Yeah sorry I know this was a posting fail- I like the video but totally disagree with the article. In all parts of life it is not what people say but how they say it. If you uptalk, can't speak with conviction, fry your words, etc I can't take you seriously. [/quote]

Yes, and I'm a woman in a position to decide whether I hire you, or not.

The 'get a life' PPs may want to consider that.   [/quote]

Consider that maybe many of the PPs have no desire to work for/with someone who would hire someone based on something so trivial...[/quote]

NP. That's so stupid. Are you going to not go to a job interview based on whether or not the people interviewing you are biased against vocal fry? LOL. Perhaps you should read http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/05/employers-look-down-on-women-with-vocal-fry/371811/[/quote]

:roll: Nope, there's no way of even knowing that in advance.  I have a job I love, anyway.

But I would be happy if someone rejected me based on me speaking with vocal fry (I don't, but in case I did).  Someone who would judge someone on such an arbitrary characteristic is probably not that intelligent and also fairly sexist.

No thanks.[/quote]

Or they are just put off by people who sound really annoying. [/quote]
