Is Bracelets good for wearing in interview

I want some suggestio from member wearing bracelets in interview good or bed.

 

Yeah, depends upon type of job you're applying. However, you don't want to distract interviewers by fancy trendy bracelets. What type of bracelet is it?

 

Of course, the job being applied for really matters in a discussion like this, but I think the "comma rule" of the English language likely applies: "When in doubt, leave it out."

As a hiring manager, myself, I do not pay too much attention to jewelry but if it stood out and caught my attention, I might conclude that the person was going to be a high maintenance employee and that would be a negative. That said, jewelry piercings beyond the ears are an entirely different matter. A job candidate with me will have a loooong hill to climb if s/he comes in with a visible body part other than ears pierced.

 

Are you not concerned that some day that could become a politically incorrect approach?

 

No, not at all. I will discriminate equally against all races, creeds, genders, etc., that have body piercings other than on their ears. And, if they have too many on their ears, I will hold that against them, as well. "Cruel but fair" is my motto.

 

I once hired a young sales rep, fresh out of college, and he was quite good. Then came the company summer picnic and everyone was going to wear shorts and tee shirts. He came to me as his manager/mentor and confessed that he had a big, ugly tattoo on one of his upper arms and he did not know what do to about it. His peers, all up and coming sales executives, and other professional staff in the company would have been absolutely shocked and dismayed to see such markings on an otherwise "good kid." Fortunately, we came up with the idea of putting a large bandage over it and he had a story about an injury, etc. It worked, but it is a good cautionary tale for someone thinking of permanently altering their appearance for social or other reasons. How you look still matters in business.

 

You know, if the transgender candidate looked good, dressed appropriately, acted appropriately, etc., I would be open to hiring him/her. Back in the 1990's I was involved with a company whose CEO was gay and whose Board was 80% gay. It was a blast and, while there were no transgender staff, there were some absolutely great characters and personalities that can still bring a smile to my face.

My problem with visible piercings/tattoos is that they are a message being broadcast to the world. It may be a message of rebellion, or of being a hipster, or whatever; however, one message or another will be received by prospects, customers, vendors, partners, co-workers, and anyone else that the employee has contact with. This message will be different for each recipient and it will be based upon that recipient's feelings, beliefs, prejudices, etc., and not what the pierced employee likely intended. It is very possible that some of these folks will have a negative reaction, however slight, that could likewise negatively impact the pierced employee's ability to work with the recipient to achieve maximum value for the company.

 

As long as it isn't an eyesore you should be fine? If it's a question that's on your mind though and think it could hinder your chances, it'd be safer to just remove the bracelet for the interview...and put it back on afterwa--is this really something worth asking?

 

I wear a silver bangle all the time and get no trouble. I think as long as you don't make other feel offensive with your bracelet, no one will really pays attention.
