| 350324 | 2005-04-29 12:58:00 | If you were hiring and a prospect showed up to an interview for a job that pays $50k+/year, would you look (dis)favourably on them with everything else being equal? | vinref (6194) | ||
| 350325 | 2005-04-29 13:09:00 | If their outfit was in order and hair didnt look dirty and they had allthe qualifications then I would look favourably. | Rob99 (151) | ||

| 350329 | 2005-04-29 22:25:00 | Depends if the position involves meeting customers / clients. If I had a business such as a music store (instruments or CDs DVDs), or one of those dodgy party pills & smoke dope shops, then having a person with dreds would be an advantage. But the general population here in NZ is basically conservative and simply would not like to deal with a person with dreds, not trusting them. As for me, if they present themselves intelligently, civily, positively, then no problems. | Strommer (42) | ||
| 350330 | 2005-04-30 00:54:00 | No, nor anyone with primitive tribal rings and studs all over their faces and other unmentionable parts, but then I'm not in a hiring position ;) Edit, but on consideration if they listened to Bix Beiderbecke and Paul Whiteman, then I would! |

What if they had dreadlocks and listened to John Coltrane? |

| 350332 | 2005-04-30 01:16:00 | What if they had dreadlocks and listened to John Coltrane? No, definitely not. They would have to prove that they only listened to pre 1935 pop music before I would even consider it :lol: |

| 350333 | 2005-04-30 04:52:00 | Hairdo wouldn't really come into it for me, except for if I was working in a place which banned dreads for whatever reason (hygiene, aesthetics, whatever). More important would be their work ethic/attitude, overall personal hygiene (I can't stand icky-looking chemical dreads) etc. etc. | Rugrats (6953) | ||
