This article reviews literature on employment interviewing from the perspective of
non-dominant group applicants. In general, interviewees from traditionally under
represented groups may experience a double bind in job interviews. Faced with the
presumption that "normal" applicants communicate in certain ways, non-dominant
group applicants may experience tensions as well as performance burdens when
attempting to meet expectations inherent in employment interviewing. While
employment interviewing practices appear to be fair, these different communicative
processes may promote both difficulties in negotiating the employment interview for
non-dominant applicants and inequitable short- and longterm outcomes. Following
the literature review, recommendations for managerial practice, pedagogy, and fur
ther research are presented.
