Photo 1 Jun 206 notes the-unpopular-opinions: You should be able to get jobs while looking like this, or having these things on your body. I don’t think jobs should be about appearance, unless the job description specifies it [Model, actress, etc]. For example: If you’re trying to get a job as a secretary, or as an accountant, or a nurse, or anything else professional, interviewers shouldn’t focus on looks. This is speaking strictly on the fact that the way you look is correspondent with the dress code [Clothes], and is not a safety hazard for anybody. I know that it probably will never happen, but I just think that people should hire for skill, not for looks. velociraptorsaresexy.tumblr.com This, so fucking much. I’m hoping to get into the international relations/peace and conflict field, which means not tats, no colored hair, no black polish, no skulls, heels, no Victorian dress. That fucking sucks, because I love being me and expressing myself in the way that I dress— and my productivity rate soars when I’m dressed comfortably as myself. Alt looks aren’t going to kill anyone in the workplace, and if they say “professionalism dictates it so”— well fuck guys, why do all professionals have to look so goddamn boring?
