A Guide to Preparing For Your Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
A great many places will not hire anyone with visible tattoos, body piercings (except pierced ears - and wear good quality earrings), etc. "Professional attire and professional appearance" are required most places, especially if you come into contact with the public.

Foolish place to get a tattoo. Can you wear turtlenecks to hide it - not just for the interview, but every day at work? Consider getting it removed.

How to Earn a Winning Grade on Your Next Job Interview


  • When I interviewed at my last job I would pretty much write off any applicant with a visible tatoo. It is very unprofessional looking. I'm glad that even gas stations are discouraging it. Hopefully this fad of defacing every inch of a person's body will go away soon. I can't wait to see the 70 year olds walking around in 30 years with tattoos on their necks.

  • It could be that they just didnt like the look of you and used that as an excuse.

    Then again - I do know that some places still dont like tattoos. Dont worry about it too much though - Still plenty of jobs out there!
