True, but not at the job interview stage. They'll immediately decide to go with someone less impulsive and more reliable. Same with gum and possibly even the nail polish. [semi personal info ]I work in a very conservative environment and wore a suit to my interview, combed my hair real nice and all that shit, yet I have lots of visible tattoos, wear JEANS (OMG SHOCKING), have hipster long hair and a hipster beard...... now after 4 years there I show up sweaty from biking in my shorts and no one gives a cats whiskers because they know I'm competent and can do my job, but for that first year while still on union probation? Well you better believe I played nice....... And I had to interview in front of a panel of people, 5 I believe including a doctor and upper upper upper management....... not fun[/semi personal info]
It only takes them what, about 5 seconds to decide yes or no in their mind, usually before you've spoken a word (or was that seeing the resume? I forget now) so don't take any chances, we are still in a recession no matter what 'merica says about it.........
