Americans are taught to believe that upward mobility is possible for anyone who is willing to work hard, regardless of their social status, yet it is often those from affluent backgrounds who land the best jobs. Pedigree takes readers behind the closed doors of top-tier investment banks, consulting firms, and law firms to reveal the truth about who really gets hired for the nation's highest-paying entry-level jobs, who doesn’t, and why.
Drawing on scores of in-depth interviews as well as firsthand observation of hiring practices at some of America’s most prestigious firms, Lauren Rivera shows how, at every step of the hiring process, the ways that employers define and evaluate merit are strongly skewed to favor job applicants from economically privileged backgrounds. She reveals how decision makers draw from ideas about talent—what it is, what best signals it, and who does (and does not) have it—that are deeply rooted in social class. Displaying the "right stuff" that elite employers are looking for entails considerable amounts of economic, social, and cultural resources on the part of the applicants and their parents.
Challenging our most cherished beliefs about college as a great equalizer and the job market as a level playing field, Pedigree exposes the class biases built into American notions about the best and the brightest, and shows how social status plays a significant role in determining who reaches the top of the economic ladder.
Lauren A. Rivera is associate professor of management and organizations at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management.
Rivera is trying to show that kids from certain background might get advantage over getting elite jobs. Students from working class might do very good in school, but they might loose those opportunities. An alright read - could be shorter. It might also could be used as parenting material for those parent like myself ;)

评分又是一年校招季。9月—11月,沙场“秋”点兵。 “神仙打架,凡人遭殃”。当我们谈论不平等时,我们在谈论什么?有位应用数学专业的室友向来犀利,她一言以蔽之,“就是也想要”。招聘的竞技场,要不起的好工作还好吗? 美国西北大学学者劳伦·A·里韦拉的《出身:不平等的选拔...
