If you’re still not getting hired – you might want to lose the nose ring...

Most job searchers know enough to dress appropriately for the interview...

...but you might be surprised at what else hiring managers notice. Here is a list of their pet peeves:

• Unusual piercings

• Visible tattoos

• Wrinkled clothes

• Unkempt hair

• Too much perfume

• Dressing too casually

Once you land the job – you may be tempted to put the nose ring back in – but that could hurt your chances for a promotion. John Challenger, author of “Career Pros” says younger workers may have ushered in some dress-code alternatives – but in this recession, older workers have seen considerable job gains. There’s a good chance the new workplace standard will swing back to ultra-professional.
