Don’t forget not owning a phone, not wearing makeup as a girl(I’m serious), having no background after being raised homeschooled, small/thin stature

Employers don’t seem to care to give you a chance to prove yourself before determining that your skinny little arms aren’t strong enough to carry 25lb bags when you’ve stacked 50lb hay bales by yourself, in pain. They don’t give you a chance if you don’t have a “proper education.” They don’t give you a chance when you some up without makeup because they think you’re not taking the position seriously without makeup on(why??). And they for sure won’t give you the job if you don’t have a cell phone. Even if you have a house phone they can call if they need you.

Okay, this is the one I’m stuck on, why does it matter that I don’t wear makeup?? So what I’m a girl?? I don’t like makeup. Never have. It feels weird. I’m happy for people that do wear makeup but don’t force me to just so I can get a job!!

Now there are people in worse situations than my own, I currently can afford to get a job. I’m not bashing anyone or saying my problems are worse, they’re not.

I’m just bringing attention to this.

Fellas. Employers.

Sometimes the hardest workers are the ones you overlooked. Take your time when you hire. Don’t overlook someone based on their appearance. I’ve watched more people get fired or quit during their first month when they were hired quickly. The ones that had to fight for the job stayed for years.
