There
is more and more competition in the job market as the economy
struggles to pick itself off of the floor, and that means that people
who have a lot of body art or body modifications often get overlooked
for a lot of high profile big earning job vacancies. There are still
a large number of employers who have a low opinion of people with
prominent body modifications, and
these prominent body modifications can often leave you at the bottom
of the “to be interviewed” pile time after time, which can leave
you feeling low and frustrated.
So here
are my tips to help you get
that job that you want.
It is ok to
stand up and declare that you will not cover up your body art for
anyone, but that attitude is not going to pay the bills, so it may be
time to be less rebellious and cover up just for a few hours.
There
is some good news though, as more and more businesses are losing
their inhibitions when it comes to body modification and
are changing their policies to allow certain body art and piercings.
You may well be aware that most fast food outlets allow body
piercings so long as they are covered up, but this kind of job is not
good to someone with a family to support. But there are other larger
companies with better paid jobs at companies such as Home Depot,
Blockbuster and Amazon who do not discriminate against people with
body art or piercings. However, you should be aware that attitudes
may differ from one part of the country to the next, so it is still
down to you to do some research and discover just who has what rules
when it comes to employing people with noticeable body modifications.
