Identify common forms of hiring and performance bias.

00:31
So somebody may base your performance off of their first impression of you.
00:38

So another thing would be a similarity bias.
01:20
So for example, if you have something in common with the person who is hiring you, then that individual may be more likely to hire you because they're more emotionally inclined to take you on to the job.
01:36
So let's say you came from similar backgrounds.

01:51
So one may discriminate against women in certain fields, for example, in which men dominate.
01:59
And another one would be racism.
02:05
