TATTOO YOU
Tattoos are so common today, you’d think most bosses and HR departments would accept them by now. But don’t take off your jacket wearing a short-sleeved shirt at a financial service office or law firm unless you want your interview to last 5 minutes or less.“Tattoos are fine if they’re not highly visible,” says Hilary Pearl, founder of Pearl Associates, an executive coaching and organizational consulting firm in Greenwich, Connecticut. “We’ve seen everything, including a woman who had trees and vines crawling up her entire hand. Distinctive tattoos can distract from the interview.”
