When Erik Robertson, an account executive at a San Francisco public relations agency, meets with conservative clients, he’ s always sure to wear a suit and tie. But with his video game client, short sleeves and an open-collar shirt are perfectly fine. His wardrobe choices aren’ t just based on what the clients will be wearing. Sometimes, he also wants to conceal the tattoos covering his arms and chest because he realizes they could alienate customers. "You have to be smart and not risk offending current clients or new business prospects," said Robertson, who is 29 years old. "I’d also like to have my hands and neck tattooed, but I don’t because I couldn’t cover them. I’m just glad I didn’ t go overboard when I was in college.
When the online jobs site CareerBuilder asked employers which personal appearance attributes would make them less likely to promote someone, piercings were named most often(37% of respondents), while visible tattoos ranked third(31%).
However, this is not the case for many young workers today. A new Pew Research Center survey found that 38% of the respondents between the age of 18 to 29 in the US had at least one tattoo, and 23% had a piercing in a place other than their ear lobes. "To attract and retain talent, businesses will have to overcome negative stereotypical views about body art," said Barrie Gross, a human-resources consultant based in San Francisco. "They need to ask whether it really matters to job performance and the company’s reputation if someone has a nose ring or tattoo."
KPMG, the international accounting firm, advises its college recruits "to remove visible body piercings and cover tattoos" at work. Similarly, Macy, the big US retailer, tells employees to avoid "excessive" facial piercings and tattoos that distract or offend customers. A Macy’s spokeswoman declined to explain what qualifies as "excessive."
The degree of flexibility about body art may change with changing recruiting needs. When the US Army needed to attract more recruits for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, for instance, it relaxed its dress code to allow tattoos on the neck and hands.
In interviewing hiring managers in Scotland, Andrew Timming, a reader in management at the University of St Andrews, found that they harbour mostly negative attitudes toward job candidates with visible tattoos. Even recruiters who were tattooed themselves held such views. But the hiring managers told Timming they wouldn ’t reject applicants because of their own bias, but rather because they believed customers would disapprove of body art.
Which is the best title for the passage?
选项
A、Getting Rid of Body Art
B、Prejudice Against Tattoo
C、Tattoo And Recruitment
D、Will Body Art Affect Work?
答案
D
解析
主旨题。本文主要讨论身体艺术是否会影响工作。因为大部分人认为身体艺术会影响工作和公司形象,所以不愿意招有纹身等其他身体艺术的人。也不太愿意提拔这些人。所以,D项是最合适的题目。B、C项只讲到纹身太片面了,因为纹身只是身体艺术的一种,而且最不受经理欢迎的是在身上打洞。A项讲去除身体艺术也不是文章本意。因此,正确答案是D。
