Spoon - Don’t Make Me a Target


I had an interview today, but before my interviewer even began he told me they do not hire people with dreadlocks.

My first thought was “Are you joking?” It looked like at any moment he’d crack a smile and say “Ha ha, gotcha!” But that never came and my next thought that I refrained from voicing was “Are you fucking kidding me?”

Never has that happened to me. I figured the fact that I have visible tattoos would be more of an issue, but that specific sector of the company allows them. A person with a tattoo of a graphic murder scene, some sort of racist bullshit, or even a lady spread eagled on their forearm would be alright because they at least don’t have dreadlocks. Possibly even shave swastikas into your beard. You can always cover that up just as well as I can wear my hair in a ponytail.

He told me I could change my hair and he’d gladly interview me. He even gave me a card, told me I could call back if I changed my mind and ask for him. On the way home I threw the card away. I’m not going to cut my hair for a possibility.
