11 People Who Got Rejected From a Job Because of Their Looks Share Their Stories

Some companies have strict guidelines for how they expect their employees to present themselves. But is it really worth it?

A lot of great potential goes unnoticed simply because a person has a set of tattoos? Or piercings? Or multi-colored hair?

These 11 people share their stories about how they got the shaft because they didn’t fit the mold…

1. Sorry mom!

2. That’s such a weak reason to not hire somebody…

3. Their loss!

4. Maybe you’re in the wrong industry?

5. Really? So weird…

6. Yeah, looks like your hair was “too black” for them…

7. What kind of customer is going to be distracted by a piercing?!?

8. Yeah, this is crazy.

9. Ugh. Such an ugly way to do business…

10. Different nail polish? What kind of place is this?!?

11. Yep! Respect yourself!

Yeah, if you need a job this kind of thing can be very discouraging… but best to NOT work at a place if they can’t accept simple ways you express yourself. That likely means they don’t want you to express yourself in other ways… which means the job would be horrible for you.
