Turned Down For Jobs because of skin

Hey All,

I was just wondering what your job search life has been like with Vitiligo? I am seeking work and I very seldom go out with out make up but I have went out without my forehead make up on and people seem to shy away from you or they stare at my forehead during interviews and of course I don't get the job. Just wondering what things you all have gone through trying to seek work with Vitiligo.

  • I understand! But honestly, I don't think its the main factor of why you didn't get the job. I got a sales job and my main responsibility is to talk with customers, the person that hired me didn't even notice the vitiligo. Sometimes I think we are just hypersensitive when it come to the vitiligo, because it bothers us more than others.

  • I  know....some people are ignorant and think that you might be sick,..and unproductive ..Once, I was asked if I had a fungus...And if you looking for customer facing jobs, service or sales jobs, I might say forget it....

    .Many jobs today can be performed remotely just need to network around,,but in today's economy is not easy...
