Remove the leg chain and get your dream job , when you're out there put it on to any places you want to go to .

As I am like this , if is to stop putting on earrings to work , I will gladly do it , as long as I'm receiving my salary at the end of the month .

I have once worked in a place , where earrings are not allowed inside , after the close of the day , you can put it on , nobody is stopping you from putting it on at the comfort zone of your house .

Let's save ourselves from all this little little things , na for your own personal company or business , you fit dey do any how .

Appearance is everything because it creates your first impression.

When you get to Rome behave like the Romans

We are Africans and just like with other continents we have cultures and interpretations. Some are real some are based on perception .

She has a chain on her leg and not her brain. I know a GM who puts on leg chain and she is ta very smart woman.

It's just as some companies won't take you for using Hijab, the head is covered and not the brain.

We need to have a paradigm shift in our mindset and focus on what is most important.

And if at all a company sees it as being against their culture, is it not better it is discussed with the candidate at the interview.

But I have a question, did the company told the candidate that you did well but because you are putting on a leg chain we can't hire you. We need to be careful with how we get one sided reports
Simple solution would be to communicate that the dress code to the employee.
You reject a good fit cos of leg chain.
Next thing they will employ the incompetent person who wore suit and tie. What is the goal really?
Also what is the meaning of leg chain in Nigeria?
Our mothers proudly wore beads on their wrists, legs, waist and necks so what changed? How did they suddenly become evil in Africa
All is well

You cant compare hijab and leg chain! Because wearing hijab in Nigeria is not a privilege buh a constitutional right.. We all know what leg chain of nowadays represent...

dont mind them
Some people just like talking.
If you were a leg chain to my company where your job is to market my product in kano state, you are destroying my brand because the average northern man knows leg chain to be a symbol of readiness for prostitution.

If you go to india and you wear the same, its fashion. So you shouldn't force the interpretation of your appearance down other people's throat since they may not exactly ask for clarification before it influences the decisions they make even without knowing

The standard thing is to look the part of the corporate culture of your potential employer. If in doubt, dress purely corporate. No one faults that.

Good question.
The person that replied you with names of former American presidents that wear tattoos should note that world leaders and Ambassadors are ELECTED or APPOINTED, not EMPLOYED... The difference is clear.

BTW, You seem to be very active in the Jobs/Vacancy section of Nairaland. Does that suggest that you are unemployed? (No offense intended).

Hmmm.......

Someone came looking for a teaching Job with a nose ring. I told her after the interview that the job is hers but we don't allow nose rings.

She removed the nose ring when coming to school and she did a good job while it lasted.

Dress code , Dress code ......

Seems like a lame excuse. They could have just told her they don't permit leg chain. It's not like she knew their rules. She might have also dodged a bullet by losing the job. [quote author=QuinModah post=121920626][/quote]

Just stop living in primitivity cool
You have to understand that Ambassadors and world leaders like the ones you mentioned are either APPOINTED or ELECTED. They are not EMPLOYED. Note the difference. You cant behave like them and be looking for someone to employ you.

Lets even leave culture, values, morals, societal expectations and all.

Wearing leg chain to that interview shows that she didn't do here research on the company to have an idea of the company's culture.
Which means:

- She may not represent the company well at events, cos every business person know that you do research on a prospective client before meeting.

If you have a meeting with an Asian, Muslim, or christians of certain denomination, etc , as a business person you dress conservatively...

This is just to mention a few.
