Trouble Getting Hired—Maybe It’s the Tattoos

July 8th, 2009 by | Print

Could your tattoos be keeping you from getting a job today? It’s a fair question that you should be asking yourself.

The economy is tough, jobs are hard to find, but you are interviewing, just not getting invited back for follow up interviews. You have to ask yourself, what’s missing

What’s wrong is your body art that remains visible after you are professionally dressed may not be viewed as positively as you would like to some employers.

Now we know that it’s not something you want to hear, but if you have been going to interview after interview and not getting many to return for second interviews or job offers—it might just be the tattoos.

If a person has tattoos that should not influence an employer one way or another. But companies can have standards for grooming. And it’s very possible those visible tattoos might just be causing employers to give higher consideration to candidates less tattooed than you.

It is true society is coming around and more and more people are accepting tattoos and body art as the norm. But unfortunately there are still quite a few people out there that do not feel tattoos are appropriate in the work environment.

Here’s the main thing: There is no way of knowing if those visable tattoos are keeping you from getting hired-so why take a chance?

With jobs as tough as they are to get these days, perhaps it is time to think about removing your visible body art. We're talking about tattoosaround the neck, hands, ears, face, fingers and wrist

There are several different] tattoo removal solutions today. Many consider the most popular to be laser tattoo removal. This is a process that can take several visits and several months. With every visit the the tattoo is treated by the laser. Then the wound is given time to heal before you can return for the next treatment. The laser treatment process can be painful and costly, but, it is considered very effective.

You can also try to cover up the tattoo while interviewing and at work with specially formulated tattoo cover up makeup.

Another acceptable method involves creams. It seems to be more a fade process rather than removal. But, it is a lot less costly than the laser method, is virtually painless and can take a lot less time. The results vary from one person to the next and a lotdepends on the tattoo, age of the tattoo, type of ink used and skin type. However, a large number of people claim to get very good results with this method.
