On the job hunt? Speak a regional accent? Guess what: there might be prejudice!
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'd fill out my survey I'd really appreciate it! Thanks so much:)
