Bakit pag may tattoo ayaw tanggapin sa trabaho? Philippines

in short, discrimination po..
ganyan ang mga tao eh.. mapanghusga..

Ganyan naman talaga sa Pinas. Ang daming policy ek-ek bago matangap sa trabaho.

NO OFFENSE but...

depende kse kung ano ang magiging trabaho na ina-apply-an mo.

some people get intimidated by tats and piercings.
sa HR palang bka matakot na yung mga matatandang dalaga! :o)

i agree with dencio, depende sa work na aaplayan / papasukan mo.. kung masyadong visible nga yung tattoo tapos haharap ka palagi sa tao/customer medyo hindi nga naman maganda tingnan(depende din sa klase nga tattoo).

agree din ako sa sinabi mo na hindi porke may tattoo masamang tao na.. eto nga nagbabalak din ako magpalagay pero sa likod muna hehehe.

goodluck sa paghahanap ng work,may darating din para sayo.

it depends on the type of Job

it depends on if your tat is visible

if you will have exposure to clients or customers 

i'm sorry but you will not get hired.

 

solution:

- look for a job where you will not need direct contact with clients - like a call center agent 

- get higher education (masters degree, profesional services like lawyer, accountant, teacher)

- get your tat erased.

Ofcourse naman po my tattoo is in upper arm not visible naman po puede naman mag long sleeves to cover it up. Kahit naman po sa likod ayaw pa den nila hinde na naman visible unless you take off your shirt.

getting a higher education i guess will not still determine if you are a good person or not weather you have a tattoo or not. Look what is happening to our government officials very much highly educated yet involved into wrongfull doings. Generals, Justices, what else dami po.

Very much true ang kikitid po pala ng isip ng ibang tao.

d nman dame q tropa mei tattoo ee mei mga ex dn ako mei tattoo.. ung mga maarte company lang un.. ako nga planning ako mgpa tattoo ee mei deal lang kme erpat q na dpat mei own house and lot na ako  en mei sarili na ako car before ako mgpatatoo pmyag nman ako sa deal nya 

pag white collar job talaga mas gusto nila yung walang tattoo para professional daw tignan..

pero tama ka stereotype masyado mga tao porke may tattoo na ang akala masama ka na.. art man yun.. mga sinaunang pinoy nagtatattoo matagal na as in whole body pa..

parang marumi daw kasi tingnan. ok lang naman pag maliit lang pero kung malaki parang di ka ayaayang tingnan.

At least, sa nangyayari ngayon, mula nung nauso call center... medyo nagiging open na isip ng mga local employers dito sa Pilipinas. Darating din siguro yung time na magiging katanggap-tanggap na 'to. Dati may mga call centers na hindi tumatanggap ng long hair or stereotype ang dating pero naging open na din sila dito after some time. Magiging ganun dn naman siguro sa ibang work specificaly private or government jobs.

in short, you can't please every people.. ako my mga tattoo din, pero ganon lang talaga.. depende naman yun sa field of work na inaapplyan mo..

Ano mga tats mo at saan? Pics?

Siguro depende sa work at position. Ako may tattoo nasa balikat pero hindi naman ako naka problem doon.  siguro yung mga work na humaharap sa customer siguradong bawal ang may tattoo na nakikita.

May friend ako ng college may tattoo sya sa daliri niya and hindi sya matanggap sa mga fast food dahil doon. Hindi kasi pleasant sa isang restaurant ang nag serve ng food mo may tattoo,.

madami po.. i had 6 tats already.. 

Like you posted in here.. Some people think that you are one of those people that are considered bad or one of those wrongdoing person when you have tattoo but in reality it's just an expression of art that you wanna share or carry it with you at all times that has meaning to you or your life.. It will all depends on HR management whether the tattoo will be a factor in hiring you or not but if it's not visible or if it something that you can cover up, you will have a chance in getting a job..just be upfront in telling them so at least there will be no surprises or at least they know that you are not hiding the fact that you have tattoo( if they ask ).. good luck in job hunting :)

Hindi lang sa trabaho ang ganyan, madami din akong tattoo, minsan ayaw akong sakay ng taxi, minsan pag mag withdraw ako ng pera tingin ng tingin yung mga nag wiwithdraw sakin tapos tipong nagmamadali at madami pang iba. natatawa na lang ako minsan

ako din i got tattoo... so far lahat man ng pinasukan ko ok man...

ganyan talaga dito sa atin maselan sila pag dating sa mga aplikante na tatangapin.wag kang mawalan ng pag-asa. ano bang skills mo?pag dating kasi sa mga posisyon sa opisina mahihirapan ka.pero kung talagang mahusay ka sa skills mo makakahanap ka din ng work.

kagaya ng mga kalbo noong araw, ang tattoo ay sa mga preso o mga taong hindi maganda ang reputasyon lang nakikita.

it was linked to the convicts or ex-convicts.

also sometime back, people were very afraid of tattoos as there were no proper tools/equiptment to do these and were scared of the spread of AIDS.

ay naku, dyan pa sa Bansa natin na grabe ang discrimination sa tao? im here in the middle east and my boss doesnt care if i sport long hair,have a tattoo ,earings ang all sa workplace. what he/she is after is my work attitude and my professionalism towards work.
