If it's a tech job there is a good chance the hiring manager is ND. The HR people probably aren't. Trying to keep HR from screening out the people we wanted to hire was a longstanding problem when I worked in the tech industry. It is also a problem for ND people trying to get a job, of course.

@andytiedye @catsalad I hope I don't have to deal with HR issues, but school is still extremely expensive & unaffordable to most people in my country, which includes MIT.
