I don’t have nothing crazy just 2 on each ear and my eyebrow and that’s all, and my cousin presses me about it all the time, saying that I “NEED” to take them out an get rid of them. Tonight she was arguing with me about it saying that in “secret” her mother is pissed I won’t get rid of them.
Idk what to do I have told them that they hold sentimental value to me not it just being the loads of money I’ve spent on it but that before I moved almst 8,000 miles away from home and my close family I got them with my mother that I won’t see for a year or two. But that dosent matter ig bc I’m just crazy
You could easily take them out…use a plug and put them back in after ur interviews. Easy enough but if u don’t try and therefore leave ur family supporting you…yes ur the asshole
Okay hear me out none of my piercings are healed if it was that simple I would’ve done that
I said use the plug…morning to afternoon ain’t going to heal up. I know everyone is different but I can put mine in now and it’s been 15 years since I took out my tongue (extremely rare) but I can wear it if I want…I don’t bc I have a perfect smile c/o the bulk of my 401k n I’m not risking my teeth for it. I’ve got several more…same story. I expect ur young but that makes it even the more wild that ur mom not only accepted it but joined in on the fun. U have the memory of having gotten them with her but I’m afraid it’s time to man up. Gotta eat. If u not making money they supplying ur housing…luxuries like heat and air…down to shit like tooth paste and toilet paper. Genuinely. There are clear plugs that keep them open if u have to take it out.
It might just depend on where you are applying and how you are interviewing. I know some places (very few) that might not care for the eyebrow piercing, I don’t know any who would care about the ear piercings…maybe if they’re super stretched. 🤷
No my ears are normal just studs in there, and nowhere expect one place i had applied for mentioned my piercings and the interviews i have anxiety and am bad at socializing or articulating my words so that could be another fault
That might be it, interviews are very important. It’s a large part of what employers rely on to see if you will be a good fit. Have you done mock interviews with your friends, maybe written down and rehearsed talking points around standard questions? It might help with your anxiety and get you through the interview.
I do practice by myself and try to have what I’m going to say ready but sometimes it’s not always me I feel bc a few times it felt racially motivated bc I’m Hispanic and live in the south for example like today I did an interview at 7-11 I have written proof of my qualifications for the specific needs of the role I was supposed to be taking and the lady didn’t give me a chance and flat out was trying to get me to leave
Yeah, then the problem was the interviewer, not you. And I can’t imagine that your piercings are an actual issue.
But my family does and that’s the problem imagine going out to interviews everyday wanting to get a job filling out countless applications with no word back constant rejection your plans failing everyday and your family is trying to strip you of your possession that don’t really have much relevance to the situation
And that makes them assholes, not you. Unfortunately there is not a whole lot you can do about that except move out, but I understand that’s not always a possibility.
The only thing you can do is keep trying and maybe put your family on an information diet regarding your job hunt. I’m not sure where you live and the kinds of jobs you are applying for, but I’m sure there’s a job out there for you.
NTA. Any place that is going to care about a piercing isn’t a place you want to work. Also the only one that MAY be a problem could be the eyebrow and I doubt that’s a problem.
You might just have trouble interviewing or the job market is just that bad. Also is if they aren’t healed it hasn’t been long enough for you to be worried. It takes time and practice to be able to interview well enough to land a job
Yea and I’m used to having this ghetto way of speaking in a bilingual way from the islands I’m from so it’s really hard for me to use correct words other than the mixed English I’m so used to but I try my best to refrain from it in my interviews and keep it professional
It truly depends on what kind of jobs youre applying for. In my experience a lot of office jobs are much more lax about facial piercings. I had an eyebrow piercing in several interviews and no one seemed to notice. Also you can try wearing glasses and switching to rose gold jewelry to make it less noticeable if that’s a concern.
Also the job market just blows right now.
