nose piercing?

I have experience with LSU recruitment. True, recruitment isn’t a job interview but it is an interview nonetheless. Both sides are asking questions and measuring up the other to see if they are a good fit. Yes, there can be shallowness on both sides. NO SYSTEM can claim that theirs is completely unbiased in some fashion.

My advice is to remove it. Several collegiate members may also have such piercings but are asked to remove them prior to the events. Why? It creates an unnecessary distraction because it really isn’t the “norm.” The school is very conservative, located in a very conservative town and draws a mainly conservative population. The majority is not running around with unconventional piercings.

I also agree that you should do what makes you feel comfortable. However, if you wanted to wear a Buffy the Vampire Slayer T-shirt with Army boots to Preference, my advice would be the same. Don’t. It’s not the norm.
