SINGAPORE : INTERVIEWS -JOBS- TATTOOS

IF you had an interview for an executive position, you might decide to cover up the tattoo on your arm.

While you felt your tattoo said something about you, in a interview setting you probably wanted those sentiments to go unspoken. Sound familiar?

At least one study published in recent times showed no correlation between unemployment level or salary and having tatoos.

This held true whether the tatoos were visible or whether a person had one tatoo or many.

Unfortunately, a recent study conducted by YouGov with 1,075 Singaporeans found that close to  half [47 percent] of the respondents said they would be less inclined to hire someone with a tattoo even if  he/she was qualified for the position. [Agencies].
