Why do employers judge or not employ people based off looks?

So from when i left school to now (2.5 years) ive been searching for a job, i always have my hair died an unnatural colour such as red or purple, have face tats and will paint my nails (either black or white).

Around 2 months ago i died hair brown, stopped painting nails and concealed my tats, i got a job super fast. I dont think its a coincidence but i just dont understand it. You would be willing to hire me, but because of my tats, hair colour and nail colour you hire someone that is worse for the job? it doesnt make sense to me.

I turn up to work now, with everything normal (-nailpolish because working around food) and they dont mind, so why was it such a big set back.

Alright, as someone who co-owned a business selling roller shutters, and took care of hiring for the small door-knocking and sales team, here's my thoughts on it (for my own specific case, mind you)

1) You are going to be going to people's homes. First impression is important, if someone is considering buying thousands of dollars of stuff, I am not sending someone who looks like a thug ready to steal it.
2) Save as above for people with piercings / retarded haircuts / colours, older generations have prejudice against that, and I don't find it very respectable looking.
3) I also don't want someone who craves the attention colourings / piercings bring. You can rant and rave about how it's "You" all you want, but even then you're getting exactly what you want; a chance to show how fucking snowflake you are. Go away and grow up.

tl:dr If you look like someone who wastes their dole money on stupid shit, then you can continue to spend your dole money on stupid shit until you grow up.

As an employer, it shows that people can not make correct decisions. Example: If I owned a music/clothing store, someone with a blue fucking Mohawk would be perfect if they knew the business. If I was looking for an artist. Someone with neck tattoos and their head shaved on one side would be accurate. If I am looking for someone in sales, I want the person everyone wants to fuck. Slim, attractive, conservative someone that looks like even with the world crashing down they make good decisions. Good decisions about the money I entrust them with.

So, are employers judgmental? The world is judgmental you stupid fuck, what the fuck did you learn in school? How to put round dowels in round holes. The fact you are asking this question, gives me serious fucking pause about the state of education. Jesus-Motherfucking-Christ how is it you are this fucking stupid? Did someone drop you on your head when you were small? Job interview skills used to be something that was taught in school? WTF happened there?

Best of luck you, lazy fuck. Glad to see you took your fucking life seriously and joined the human race.
>>
>>729752806
>Job interview skills used to be something that was taught in school? WTF happened there?

Those courses were considered to be insensitive, and culturally biased against anyone who's mommy and daddy paid the full price for their education. So the liberal fuckwads who run the colleges did away with them in favor of LBGT<whatever the fuck they wanna put after it> based, ethnocentric, liberal arts courses which make the useless slag feel like part of the steel contributing to the structure of American culture.

Sounds like your concept of "growing up" equates to embracing conformism.
Am I wrong?

Basically you're expandable so managers can find someone equally qualified without dyed hair.
>>
>>729752806
So giving in to the prejudices of others is "taking your life seriously"?

Good God
>>
>>729751679
It's stereotypes. The tattoo thing is associated with people being poor, dumb, and lazy. I don't think a lot of people know how much time and money you have to put in for a decent piece. Also only faggots that don't understand the culture call them tats. Just a tip if you want an artist to take you seriously. Most of the time, I understand not wanting someone that looks like me at a front desk. Or being on a sales floor or something to that effect. It makes no sense to me if you have a solid work history and looking to do work not oriented around dealing with people. BUT, you probably have minimal or no real work history. If you're gonna do the degenerate thing, you've gotta work 10 times harder to prove your worth. But then places will respect you more.

tl;dr
>stop being a fag, goddamn
>>
>>729753524
>continuing with the tried and tested, stable way of functioning
>conforming

You're such a dumb cunt. The fact that you think that going a way different to what you think is "the right way" is confirming, shows that you're just a fucking conformist as well, confirming to "non-confirming", because that's so radical
>>
>>729753524
More like my idea of "growing up" is if you want someone to do something (ie hire you), then you better get ready to stop trying to be a unique crystal little individual and show you can be part of a team and act like everyone else, rather than try to get as much attention as possible.
>>
>>729753524
>embracing conformism.
>Am I wrong?

If by conformism you mean having things like a home, utilities on and running, FOOD to eat. Then no, you're not wrong. If you wanna live out in the woods, in a hut, and hunt/grow your own food, and let your hair grow into tangled, greasy hanks of dreadlocks, be my guest. But just remember, you can have all of the comforts us "conforming sheep" have too. All you have to do is look fucking presentable, and be able to do the job you're trying to get hired for.

By working for someone, you're representing them and their business. You might be the greatest, most competent and hardest working person around, but it's poor optics. A company wouldn't hire you to be someone's financial analyst or money manager and have gauged ears, green hair and a face tattoo. You'd go for the clean cut, white or Asian guy in his 30s-40s.

Yes it's 2017 and society doesn't view non traditional looks as harshly as they did 50 years ago, but there's still a level of professionalism expected in a work environment, especially at most chains or corporate places.

If you're a musician or working in the art industry, it's a different story. Let your freak flag fly

You have to look professional too. When all jobs people buy and wear suits from are given to retards with gauges and shitty hair, then you can say you're professional.
>>
>>729754660
It has to do with appearance as well. If you have a job that requires dealing with the public on a face to face basis, whether it's working at McDonald's or sitting in board room meetings, having a non-traditional appearance can negatively impact people's perception of you.

You could be a wizard, and people would be less likely to take you seriously, because the appearance is that you don't take yourself or your job seriously.

Employers like you are a part of what's wrong with this world.

lol, do you realize you permanently disadvantaged yourself for the rest of your entire life, vs every other person who doesn't have face tattoos?

Let me put it to you this way and I am somewhat racist. Say it's a job doing manual labor just easy stuff

I would rather hire a nigger coming out of prison for a crime, than a white kid with face tattoos. Thats how bad you fucked up. Because committing a crime sometimes come from desperation, confusion, or bad upbringing, getting TATTOOS ON YOUR FUCKING FACE, IS PLANNED, WILLFUL STUPIDITY FOR THE SAKE OF STUPIDITY.

As per Merriam-Webster: the conduct, aims, or qualities that characterize or mark a profession or a professional person

See how it says conduct, and qualities? That is how you carry, and present yourself.

Not like you're simply there under daddy's threat to cut you off financially.

you would give two shits how they look.

if two doctors come into your room and one is dressed like a hell's angel biker and the other is dressed like a traditional doctor, which would you expect to provide better care?

and don't say "the biker, if he does a better job", because you don't know the skill level of the doctor.

unless you are completely brain dead, you'll choose the doctor that actually looks like a doctor, because he takes his job seriously, as his outfit demonstrates.

>prejudice is linked to lower iq

my IQ is in the 140s and I am racist. The reason that I am racist is that you can clearly see some races have inferior genetic traits for living in social society. It takes a lot of education and intelligence to understand this. You are nowhere near as intelligent as me.

Don't link studies on /b/, because you haven't once ever read the full text of a study, nor do you understand anything about how science or studies are performed.
>>
I think sometimes it isn't because they're judging you as a person, but your looks don't conform with the target audience of the business and out of their own interest they have to hire someone else.

I don't agree with it personally, I don't think society needs that layer of pressure among the masses - but it's the way of the world and it isn't changing soon.

I work a job that has "overtime" but it's skilled labor. And I had to train for 3 years to be certified for the job I have now. Being a master mechanic, with my Daimler and BMW mastercraft certifications took a long time. But it pays VERY well, and is very skilled labor.

I didn't assume anything, OP said he was working around food.
As for the looks part, traditional looks basically mean that around the workplace you're willing to put your work first and your ego second, which experience has taught us is something people with tats, died hair, piercings or funky make-up, are incapable of doing.
It's just facts, deal with it.

Presentation. It's a huge part of customer service.

You have to be likeable to the customer

lmao, low iq confirmed. This just goes show that you didn't even read the source, as it clearly states that high IQ also tends to lead to prejudice but not for the same kind of thing.

Low IQ = prejudice for stuff people can't affect, like being born another skincolour, being gay, etc, etc.
High IQ = prejudice against certain groups of people where you choose to join or not yourself, like religion, the military, general conservative stuff.

I only have one tattoo, which is easily hidden. Also, I work in the CCCs, a job that I'm sure does more for my state than what your job does for yours.

I don't have time to judge people based on looks. Not only is it shallow and stupid, it prevents someone from getting ahead in their personal lives.

I worked in a deli at a grocery store and the day they hired me they made me get rid of my neon pink hair, yet months later they had a cashier with blue hair. I asked if I could dye my hair back to pink and they said the customers would complain. I asked why the other girl could have blue hair and they said 'well she's not working with food'. I still don't understand the logic there because it clearly isn't about chemicals from hair dye because others in the deli had dyed their hair natural colors and nobody said a thing. However a lot of costumers were very old, so they might complain, but why would they not complain about the blue?

For the most part. In the UK, places like fast food joints and tattoo parlours don't give much of a fuck, neither does anywhere run by "alternative" people.

>>
>>729759160
It had nothing to do with chemicals. I had to do with presentation. When you are handling someone's food, they expect you to look as if you care about your own appearance. Because if you can't care about how you look, how will they expect you to care about the food you're handling for them? It's perception, plain and simple. They automatically think that a girl ringing up groceries is either young, and not going to be there long, or has completely given up hope of going beyond a front end job. They don't care if her hair is blue, because she's not worth caring about. You, however, are in a job, where they trust you to handle machines that can do irreparable damage if you're not careful. They expect you to look the part.

There is a professional standard to upkeep and appearances are everything, if you display traits typically associated with going against standards and norms then you most likely won't follow the standards and norms of the business. If you feel you have to rebel against everything society stands for then businesses, which have entire PR campaigns to convince people they align with a societal norm, then they won't hire you because you are a detriment to that image. It is irrelevant if you agree with this or not as there are enough potential employees that you either play by yheir rules or they'll find someone else that will. During your free time you can be whoever you want, but they only pay you for time you are who THEY want.

I would think because they realize what system they are trying to manipulate in their favor and conform to it.

Right out of high school, I got a job at a local tire/oil change shop. I was there about 3 months when a guy, a few years older than me comes walking in looking for an application.

Now, my boss at the time was a man in his late 50's, who grew up in South Boston. When I say he was Old School, I mean he was fucking OLD School. Always came to work with a shirt and tie, always wore his trademark Boston Spoon, cocked JUST slightly to the right, and has his big bushy walrus mustache trimmed right along his lip line. I really liked the guy a lot!

So anyway, this guy comes in, with his pants sagging, and a violently purple shirt, looking like he's trying to get a backup dancer spot in a lil wayne video, and says "Yeah, I wanna application"

My boss looks at him and say "No. Absolutely not. You come back tomorrow, with your pants pulled up, and your shirt tucked in, and maybe I'll let you apply for the job."

The guy asked him "What's wrong with my pants ole man?"

And my boss just fucking DEAD PANS... "You look like a fag hooker trawlin for cawk." in his thick ass Boston accent. I will never forget that moment in my life. The next day the guy came back, looked presentable, and got the job a week later. Of course he didn't KEEP it long, but that's just because he was a fucking IDIOT!

As an employer, we need you to look professional for the public. Personally, as long as you're not shooting heroin or meth, I couldn't give a shit what you do, or how you want to express yourself and individualize, providing that individualization dies not carry over to your work day.

If you have piercings, that's wonderful, if you can take them out, we appreciate it. If, however, you have gauged holes in your cheeks and ears, ten I'm sorry my friend, but some people, especially older, loyal customers find that shit scary and offensive.

In the mind of the general customer, who do they want to deal with, a smiling, clean cut, well dressed, professional looking person, or Storm from the fucking X-Men?

The problem with faggots like you is you think that other people are obligated to do things for you. They aren't. And if you want to be an "individual" then you need own up to the consequences of your actions.

It is like we are arguing with the living embodiment of snowflake entitlement.

I've been a manager for the now defunct Movie Gallery series of stores, so I'm deeply familiar with what I explained. A good few tips for job seekers
A) Even if the job site is ok with it we appreciate you showing up as normal as possible, it shows you are willing to put effort towards thd job.

B) Don't act desperate for a job, we see desperate people as more likely to steal or divulge ckmpany secrets for cash.

C) Use a cover letter for your resume, it looks nicer and helps it stand out.

D) Try to respond and interact with the interviewer in an interesting way, with 100 or more applicants you're more likely to be remembered if you do so.

And to clarify in neither of my comments do I deride you for your choices, these are just the why in >>729759895

If you're in any line of work where you're dealing with customers face to face, then there's no way in hell I'd hire someone with facial tattoos or piercings. Just makes you look like an idiot. Why waste money just to permanently deface your own body anyways? This isn't some cartoon where everyone is unique and special and needs to show it off to the world. You need to show that you're capable of doing your job and being professional, and a big part of being professional is looking the part. I know basically all of this has been said but whatever just had to say it.

Bottom line is : the customers money pays for the business running expenses INCLUDING your salary, so the customers' individuality comes before yours while you're on the job.
It's not so much prejudice on the employer's part as it is not wanting the business to go under because a twat thought his hairdo was more important than his job.

I understand some people simply can't fathom protecting one's individuality, having themselves been taught to suppress it in the name of conformity.
>>
>>729763373
???? Please explain. Saying that someone should dress more professionally doesn't mean you're telling them to conform to the societal norm.

If you dye your hair it shows you're expressive. That implies you're probably opinionated. People with strong opinions tend to express them and that can cause conflicts at work and outside of work which can reflect badly on the business. Plus it also shows a certain lack of maturity.

Having facial tattoos makes you seem impulsive and implies that you don't plan for the long term effects of things. That can be interpreted as you being a risk as you might lash out at coworkers or employees, or make decisions that weren't yours to make because you don't think about the consequences. Impulsive usually means bad decisions. You don't want someone who makes bad decisions representing your business.

>>
>>729753745
Basically this. I know better. I want tattoos myself (though I'd never do my face) and have one of those goofy asymmetrical haircuts (albeit in a natural color), but even I see people who craft a look an awful lot like my own and immediately think "this hipster faggot is studying feminist dance therapy and has never worked a day in his life." That's how deep these stereotypes run, anons. I'm not far from looking just like you, and I'd still judge your personality and quality as a worker from your looks all damn day- now think about how the 30, 40, 50-something person interviewing you probably looks at you, being 10-30 years older and more conservative than us and potentially being old enough to genuinely believe that rock music and D&D are satanic influences, and on top of that they're being paid to be critical of you.
>>
I worked for a staffing company for 2 years. Mostly I hired and placed people in positions for "back of house" positions. This means no direct customer contact. You'd think I would hire people regardless of looks right? Wrong!

When I first started I was naive and did so but I realized pretty quickly that people who looked "different" tended to be flaky and flighty. Even in cases where they did their jobs fine they were often impulsive and would leave with no notice because they I had something new they wanted to pursue. Good on them but that left me screwed.

There was also the the "doesn't work well with others problem". I swear I had to deal with so many more personal issues between staff when they involved people who looked "different". A lot but not all seemed to have a chip on their shoulder. There was always issues of discrimination or unfairness. Not even over real issues mind. More like..

"I washed 15 cars today and Steve washed only 12, how is that fair?"

Nest day I'd get a call saying that my do employees only managed 24 cars in one day.

I don't like to discriminate but when you hire 10-25 people a week you start to see patterns and then you adopt those patterns as habbits because in the long run it save you time. Maybe I missed out on the worlds best car washer but it's worth saving myself the headaches.
