Would you a wear a nose right or other visible piercing (besides ear) on a job interview? Not far a job working at a coffee shop or something, but in an office.

or how about walk in with a mohawk to interview for a job on Wall Street?

As a person going into a very conservative profession (law), I've been broadsided with all kinds of interview books, pamphlets, websites, advice, etc.

Some things are just risky on how they can affect your first impression. Some things aren't considered appropriate in certain areas of the world or certain professions. Walk into a courtroom with facial piercings or even in a bright purple polka dot business suit, see if the judge takes you seriously.

Conformity may suck, but to a degree, it's how the world works. Rush is one big interview with many many people.

And if she already has an idea that it may be distracting or thinking that she shouldn't do it, then she has already examined the culture and process, etc. of how it works.

Always err on the side of conservative when you're indecisive on things. Especially when it comes to clothing and appearances.

This may piss some people off, it's something that I used to not agree with, but it's reality.
