I understand it's the standard, but I don't "get" the whole "don't go to an interview with a visible piercing/tattoo" thing. Anybody who thinks like that is too close-minded for me to work for anyway.
I've had my job for close to 7 years. My long(er) hair and piercings don't affect my performance at work in the slightest, so I really don't see a problem with them. Also, before anyone says anything, yes I used to work with customers, and most of them were in their 50s-80s, and I still see them occasionally when I have to do what I used to do before I moved up. Most of them just talk shit jokingly about magnets, or lightning rods... whatever, but they're certainly not threatened.
It seems people just can't be different yet without other people trying to either read too much into it, or just being put off by it, and here I was thinking variety was the spice of life. Silly me.
