Good advice here, except for the part about asking recruiters... with them always worried about being sued for discrimination, they would say "no problem" but then they'd just not hire you.
The advice to observe how successful black business women wear their hair and to emulate that is really the best thing you can do.
Working for someone else always means you have to suck up to them in many ways. This is reality.
Only people who are self employed or are their own bosses have complete freedom to do what they want. Except they still have to worry about how clients might perceive them. |

Where are you from, Mars? Recruiters don't make up the rules - the U.S. government does. Why are you always attributing these things to recruiters/HR people??
We "HR" people have very thick skin and, in spite of the bad press people like you give us, we save our companies millions of $$ and a head off a lot of lawsuits by knowing what the "rules of engagement" are in employment management and employee relations. But, like a terrorist attack that never happens because someone's vigilance prevented it, nobody ever hears about it, and we get no accolades or recognition for it - except by the person who knows what we did - the CEO where it counts!
