So if you absolutely want me to say it

Yes, if I had two people show up for a social media manager job, and Person A was dressed nicely while Person B was wearing torn jeans and a stretched out t-shirt, unless Person B destroys Person A in experience, skill, and so on, I'm going to naturally lean toward Person A because they look like they care.

If you think there's something wrong with that, cool.

That's a completely logical and appropriate response. I had a write up elaborating then I was like 'this is fucking stupid clearly Person A is presenting themselves professionally and cares enough about the interview I shouldn't have to justify this'. Because really I don't see any point in justifying it to the 1% of people who don't understand.

I think to me it boils down to a persons opinion of what is unprofessional or not. Very lightly colored pink hair is not remotely unprofessional imo and it didn't even cross my mind for a second that it might come up as an issue that it was until she told me about it.

Oh, to be clear, I'm not saying that is unprofessional, either.

I was simply trying to make the argument that saying "You shouldn't discriminate on choices" is too broad a thing to say.

Like, it goes beyond appearance, too.

If somebody chooses to drink and they smell of alcohol during the job interview, I'm going to at the least question if this would become a problem later on, and thus not treat them equally to as if they didn't show up with alcohol on their breath, and I don't really think that's a bad thing.
