0: In this week's video, we're gonna be going over how to handle a job interview
3: if you have tattoos, piercings, or even a crazy hairstlye.
6: That's coming up!
12: Now your parents didn't lie to you when they tell you that's it's what's on the
16: inside that counts. But when it comes to a job interview
19: your appearance really does make a difference.
22: Besides having proper interview attire, your day to day appearance
26: might have to undergo a few little tweaks before you're ready for your job interview.
30: Piercings.
31: Piercings can really distract the interviewer
33: and you might even violate company policy before you're even hired.
37: So if you have anything like a facial piercing or a tongue piercing,
41: you're gonna want to take that out before the interview.
43: Earrings are okay but make sure that you limit them to a reasonable size
47: and only have one per ear.
48: Tattoos.
49: Cover your tattoos as much as possible.
51: Wear clothing that will hide them or even use tattoo cover-up so they don't show through.
56: Similar to piercings, tattoos can be distracting
59: or may even break company policy. You want the interviewer to be focused on you
64: and your qualifications and not your ink.
66: Hair.
67: Try to stay away from hair colors that are a little funky.
70: I'm talking pink, green, blue, etc. And also, keep your hair in a nice
75: clean and polished hairstyle.
76: You really want to make sure you don't have a bird's nest hiding in your head.
80: The goal is to appear as professional as possible.
83: This is really important when it comes to food positions especially
87: but you want to keep these in mind for whatever job you are applying for.
90: Don't get us wrong.
91: Self-expression is awesome and we're all about it.
94: But until you actually get that job offer you want your application
98: and qualifications to stand out, not your personal style.
101: When trying to land a job, you can really never be too careful
105: and you don't want anything standing in your way.
107: Happy job hunting!
