[quote=Anonymous]MB here.   Everyone judges everyone else based on physical appearance, regardless of the setting, and whether we admit it or not.  It's human nature.

What and how you judge however varies.

I care a lot about the pictures people post of themselves on a job seeking site related to childcare, and I care how they present themselves in person.

I look for age appropriate and situational appropriate attire (party clothes, crazy cleavage, ill fitting clothing, etc... are all a turn-off).  I care if they look clean and tidy, appropriate for the job they're seeking, and comfortable.  (OK - comfort is more relevant strictly to nannying, but I have toddlers - I need someone who is dressed to play comfortably while still looking put together.)

Tattoos, piercings, hair color, all within moderation do not bother me.  If you have swastikas on your face and you jangle when you walk I probably won't contact you.  If you have a funky cool style I might envy you or remember when I had a little more spark, but I would still interview you.

You have to look friendly, fun, presentable and clean (IMO) both in photos and in person.[/quote]
