A question by John N. Hemsley Capital Times Staff Over the past 10 years, tattoos and body piercings have become quite a phenomenon in today's society. If some one would have walked into a job interview in 1987 with some piercings on their face and tattoos on their neck and lower arms, most likely, they wouldn't have been taken seriously. Now it is much more common to see this, and it's also becoming socially acceptable. When college ends for me in a little over three months, I am going to go out into the real world and finally look for a nice job. For me (as well as some other soon-to-be college Celica The Inside Story On the outside, it's easy to see that Celica is race-track inspired. But the real excitement is on the inside...under the hood. Take the Celica GT-S...Toyota worked with Yamaha to build a 180 HP engine redlined at 7800 RPM...equipped it with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence...a computer that constantly monitors and retunes your engine for maxi mum performance...a cam with two sets of lobes to provide two ranges of valve lift and duration for more usable horse power.

Citadel owns many radio stations in the United States. When speaking with her about the chances of someone being hired with visible piercings and/or tattoos, r* l/11 she stated that, "Their piercings wouldn't have any effect on them being hired, not at all." She con tinued by saying that, "we run no judgment on any one who comes in with piercings or tattoos." On the other hand, I also spoke With Karen Sloat, who is the assistant controller for WGAL. She stated; "It depends on the severity of it and it depends on what they want to do within our company." She continued by adding; "Having pierc ings or tattoos shouldn't detract, but it does depend on what position they are seeking, especially on-air, there is a certain dress code."
