thurlow said: (quoted from post at 13:02:11 02/02/09) Eggxactly; SWMBO is a human resource director (usta be personnel manager)...in addition to some other things in a small town bank. She gets wimmens with stringy hair, off the shoulder blouses, flip-flops, chewing gum, etc. Men wearing torn jeans, tee-shirts. They don't get hired. How much trouble is it to look around and see what the current employees are wearing and dress accordingly? Local community college asks her to come out a couple of times a year and give a talk on how to dress/talk/act during a job interview. One more thing.......in a professional place; no VISIBLE tattoes or piercings (except for single....per ear.....earrings).
Thurlow, good post.
I've counseled my 3 daughters regarding the piercings and ESPECIALLY tattoos. Earings and piercings can be removed (like when you're 30 yrs old) but tattoos are for life (yeah, yeah, I know: laser removal).
In any case, I've interviewed and WOULD NOT hire anyone who looked like they were headed to a Metallica concert. (I once interviewd a girl for a receptionist position who had decent qualifications except for the stud in her tongue and eyebrow. Not something I wanted my customers to see when they first walked in the door)
Tattoos also become a problem if you become a professional (lawyer, doctor, etc). I've heard stories about women attorneys who won't go to firm picnics or other casual events because of tattoos they can't hide under their usual long sleeved blouses, skirts and pantsuits.
In any case, to each their own but people don't realize what a negative impression they make with their "highly decorated" appearance. I may be old-fashioned, but kids drop down a notch in my book if they're covered in body art and couldn't pass through an airport metal detector.
So bottom line is, if you want to express yourself, go ahead. Don't complain, though, because some guy "discriminated" against you and you didn't get the job.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
