Comments from businesses in the

College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences

What is your First Impression?
  • The body art (tattoo on the left foot) should be concealed; Clothing looks professional
  • Visible tattoo should be covered to avoid distraction; Nylons or hose should be worn to any professional event
  • Nice outfit

  • Professional

Is this appropriate for a Career Fair?

  • Body art is ok, however, a more conservative approach by concealing her tattoo would be beneficial during a career fair

  • Would be all right, but would add credit to the individual by adding some type of hosiery

  • Too dressy for a career fair

  • Ok

Is this appropriate for an Interview?
  • The skirt is a little short and may cause more discomfort to the interviewee than the interviewer
  • Body art is ok, however, a more conservative approach by concealing her tattoo would be beneficial during an interview
  • Appropriate
  • Professional
