How social class determines who lands the best jobsAmericans are taught to believe that upward mobility is possible for anyone who is willing to work hard, regardless of their social status, yet it is often those from affluent backgrounds who land the best jobs. Pedigree takes readers behind the closed doors of top-tier investment banks, consulting firms, and law firms to reveal the truth about who really gets hired for the nation's highest-paying entry-level jobs, who doesn’t, and why.Drawing on scores of in-depth interviews as well as firsthand observation of hiring practices at some of America’s most prestigious firms, Lauren Rivera shows how, at every step of the hiring process, the ways that employers define and evaluate merit are strongly skewed to favor job applicants from economically privileged backgrounds. She reveals how decision makers draw from ideas about talent—what it is, what best signals it, and who does (and does not) have it—that are deeply rooted in social class. Displaying the "right stuff" that elite employers are looking for entails considerable amounts of economic, social, and cultural resources on the part of the applicants and their parents.Challenging our most cherished beliefs about college as a great equalizer and the job market as a level playing field, Pedigree exposes the class biases built into American notions about the best and the brightest, and shows how social status plays a significant role in determining who reaches the top of the economic ladder.

Don't listen to anyone who says this book isn't a how-to guide or a vocational book. Rivera does something better than just tell you what to do in order to get an elite job. She describes the thought process, backgrounds and actual behind the scenes conversations of interviewers who are the gate keepers for consulting, banking, and law firms. Anyone who shrugs off this book or believes that it just is telling everyone something about 'elites' that they already know hasn't read it very closely or even finished the book. Rivera explains how the college you attend, your socioeconomic background, race, ethnicity, gender, and even hobbies or interests impact the way an interviewer may perceive you. This is so important especially if you have absolutely nothing in common with the people who are going to interview you. As a 1st generation underrepresented minority from an improvised background who did not attend an ivy league school - I learned from this very book - how to land a highly coveted investment banking internship. This book actually shaped the way I interviewed at firms. I wish I could personally thank the writer herself!
