13336671, I work in public health (state government) Posted by cbk, Tue Jun-04-19 10:56 AM
Specifically in HIV/STI. In California.
As an interviewer, I’ve never penalized anyone for tattoos, style of dress, etc. And even if it came down to two highly qualified candidates—one clean-cut and another looking like Lil Xan—tattoos/style wouldn’t even come into consideration. Same thing with perceptions of someone already in the job.
We’re a unique bunch, tho. Strong LGBTQ presence. Communities of color represented. Educated.
But it’s still an office/biz atmosphere here. And nowadays tattoos/style don’t matter like they used to.
Good luck on your interviews!
