When Erik Robertson, an account executive at a San Francisco public relations agency, meets with conservative clients, he’ s always sure to wear a suit and tie. But with his video game client, short sleeves and an open-collar shirt are perfectly fine. His wardrobe choices aren’ t just based on what the clients will be wearing. Sometimes, he also wants to conceal the tattoos covering his arms and chest because he realizes they could alienate customers. "You have to be smart and not risk offending current clients or new business prospects," said Robertson, who is 29 years old. "I’d also like to have my hands and neck tattooed, but I don’t because I couldn’t cover them. I’m just glad I didn’ t go overboard when I was in college.
When the online jobs site CareerBuilder asked employers which personal appearance attributes would make them less likely to promote someone, piercings were named most often(37% of respondents), while visible tattoos ranked third(31%).
However, this is not the case for many young workers today. A new Pew Research Center survey found that 38% of the respondents between the age of 18 to 29 in the US had at least one tattoo, and 23% had a piercing in a place other than their ear lobes. "To attract and retain talent, businesses will have to overcome negative stereotypical views about body art," said Barrie Gross, a human-resources consultant based in San Francisco. "They need to ask whether it really matters to job performance and the company’s reputation if someone has a nose ring or tattoo."
KPMG, the international accounting firm, advises its college recruits "to remove visible body piercings and cover tattoos" at work. Similarly, Macy, the big US retailer, tells employees to avoid "excessive" facial piercings and tattoos that distract or offend customers. A Macy’s spokeswoman declined to explain what qualifies as "excessive."
The degree of flexibility about body art may change with changing recruiting needs. When the US Army needed to attract more recruits for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, for instance, it relaxed its dress code to allow tattoos on the neck and hands.
In interviewing hiring managers in Scotland, Andrew Timming, a reader in management at the University of St Andrews, found that they harbour mostly negative attitudes toward job candidates with visible tattoos. Even recruiters who were tattooed themselves held such views. But the hiring managers told Timming they wouldn ’t reject applicants because of their own bias, but rather because they believed customers would disapprove of body art. [br] What do we know about Erik Robertson’ s wardrobe choices?
选项
A、He tends to dress in suit and tie.
B、He likes to dress casually.
C、Just based on what the clients will be wearing.
D、He also wants to conceal his tattoos.
答案
D
解析
细节题。根据题干中的Erik Robertson’s wardrobe choices可以定位到第一段中的His wardrobe choices aren’t just based on what the clients will be wearing.Sometimes,he also wants to conceal the tattoos covering his arms and chest because he realizes they could alienate customers. “You have to be smart and not risk offendingcurrent clients or new business prospects,”said Robertson.从这里可以看出他的穿衣选择不仅仅是考虑到客户,还要盖住身上的纹身。所以D项讲他想盖住纹身符合原文意思。A、B项的内容文章没有直接提及,C讲他仅仅依据客户的穿着不够准确。因此。正确答案是D。
