13336527, For the OKProfessionals who hire Posted by SynsCei, Mon Jun-03-19 04:35 PM
How are the perceptions of someone coming into an interview well spoken, qualifications surpass expectations, delivers on all fronts, but is tatted on both arms/wrists/forearms?
First impressions are key, but would a hiring person/persons choose someone else who is perceived as more "clean cut" given everything else is equal?
I have a few upcoming interviews and can easily hide with a long sleeve dress shirt, but I'm unsure on how to handle if/when hired and I wear a short sleeve.
The jobs in question aren't exactly high end. They're intermediate positions where I will be doing clerical/data entry and at times, provide customer support.
The notion of not being hired b/c of misconceptions is absurd, but doesn't make it not real.
