Origin: Unequal Selection and Elite Self-replication

(u. S.) Lauren A. Rivera

217K03

Why do students from wealthy families often get high-paying jobs in today's American society? What allowed them to successfully pass the selection? In order to answer these questions, Lauren A. Rivera went deep into the industries with the highest starting salaries in the United States - investment banks, consulting and law firms, and examined in detail the recruitment links such as presentations, recommendations, resume submissions, interviews and reviews. Through a wealth of cases, she revealed how the seemingly ability-oriented selection criteria help the elite complete the intergenerational transmission of advantageous status. In addition to the analysis of the selection mechanism, the book discloses a large amount of internal recruitment knowledge, which can also be used as an action guide for ordinary people to break through the class ceiling.
