In Reply To: How do most companies feel about body piercings? I have a nose ring that I'd prefer to leave in once I get a job. Should I wait until after I land a job, then ask if it's acceptable? Anyone else sporting their piercings in the office?
Message: I am a 27 year old managing director, and I would not employ you. Why: 1. A client may not like it, and whether you think that is wrong or not, the client is always right (unless they are being racist, sexist or any other ist); and 2. The fact that you bring this issue up shows that you obviously feel a need to rebel. I don't need employees like that. The people that are successful in this world, know how to play the game. Take the ring out if you want to start playing the game at all.
