Okay its been almost 4 weeks and no one had said a word until today. I am presently unemployed and have been taking this career transition class at the local university. The topic today was networking and the issue was brought up about presenting yourself and first impressions. Boy did I get a lot of grief about the earrings and I thought no one had noticed. First I was a little embarrassed but then I thought who cares what others think, I am glad I did it. Of course I will take them out before any interview.
