Hi,
Title says it all.
I've heard that this can sometimes help your application, but at the same time, I don't know if I really want to include it.
Should I?
Thanks,
Andy

I wouldn't directly include it on your resume or anything, but apply to the diversity internships which correspond to that. you should be eligible for a GS program, if you do a search there is a good list of programs for each kind of diversity
I'll take a look, thanks for the response!
Wouldn't this make you Sexual Orientation ArbitrageAndy?
But yeah, agree with the poster above. Look for diversity programs specifically targeting LGBT folks.
apply to diversity programs or tick the box on your application, no need to shove your bigotry in a bankers face
Do you know what the word bigotry means or were you just kind of winging it and hoping for the best?
big yikes - swing and a miss champ
LOL, what the fuck?
Do you mean like, putting the word homosexual next to your name on your resume? How moronic do you need to be to even consider this?
Maybe we need to start creating a list of names for the LGBTQ folks so they can be easily identified.
The jobs of a resume is to make myself as attractive as possible to the firm I'm applying to, if that firm is trying to increase diversity, I become instantly more attractive. So, is it really that moronic?
And no, I wouldn't make it explicit; I'd imply it. After all, It's a big part of who I am, just like how someone might list their hobbies on their resume.
Yes.
People generally don't list "sex" in the interests section of their resume.
See your point there but wouldn't literally write gay next to the name, LGBTQ social participation could be something to point implicitly that you are gay on your resume.
You could hint that you are gay through your activities (ex. being involved in a LGBT club) or express it through your cover letter. I wouldn't straight up write that you are homosexual on your resume, I don't even know where you would write that.
Interests: skiing, weight lifting, butt stuff with dudes, travel, and cooking
just like that
Yes - if you’re gay and go to a non-target it will help immensely. Most of the people that come from non-targets are gay, but they are closeted. So you will be a large step ahead in that regard
