Jason Jay (“JJ”) Neifert was optimistic. He had just applied for a job as a police officer at a university with about 25000 students. Based on the job specifications, he was confident that he had the right qualifications in addition to his bachelor degree in criminal justice; he had completed the regular training at a local police academy. The 3 yrs working in a small police department (two full-time officer, one part time)had also given him good experience. He earned high performance appraisals and was sure to get a good recommendation from the police chief. Moving to the larger six person police dep. At the university was a nice progression for his career. He thought that he was at the right stage for being 27 yrs old.
JJ had sent in his application and resume, complete with reference, and had gone through an interview. He was waiting to hear the results.
A letter arrived in the mail telling him that the university police department would not be hiring him. He contacted the university personnel office to seek information about why he wasn’t hired so that he could take that into consideration when applying for a job elsewhere. He was told that he was not hired because he had multiple, large, visible tattoos.
JJ was quite shocked. “What does that have to do with doing a good job as a police officer ? “Besides the tattoos would be mostly covered, especially if he wore a long sleeved shirt. Yes, but they would be visible when he wore short sleeve or shorts. Some were slightly visible above the collar and on the wrist. The director of human resources told him that the tattoos were not professional. JJ had the opportunity view. He thought they might actually help build rapport with some students.
