[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sometimes wear my hair in cornrows (I am black) but never in a photo on a job site and never in an interview. Unfortunately, black women with straight, stringy hair earn higher salaries, in any profession- there is lots of employment data to show it. So my hair is straightened for first impressions. Otherwise, I risk getting lower salary offers.[/quote] I haven't found that to be true. I'm sure being black in and of itself is enough to eliminate me from some positions, but of the families I interview with, my hair has never been an issue. I have big natural hair, but it easy to pull it into a bun for an interview, or if I'm working with a grabby infant. I wouldn't want to work for a family that has an issue with my race or my hair, and I also wouldn't accept a lower salary than I feel is appropriate. [/quote]
