RH Designer interview questions

Three part interview process. First the floor walk with the manager on staff, them meeting with the client and going over portfolio, phone interview and more. They will also ask you to do a random project to rate you on how you would do the project from their floor.

I was approached by a recruiter from RH on LinkedIn. She had viewed my work history and thought I’d be a good fit for an opportunity in my location. I met with her via zoom. The conversation went so well. We talked about the differences between design and customer engagement and the need to do both. We walked though my background and education. At the end of the conversation she expressed how much she enjoyed speaking with me and that she wanted me to take the next step by interviewing with the store manager. Later that week I did just that. I showed up in person and talked to the manager for an hour. At the end of that hour I was told that my hair and nails did not meet the guidelines of the company. That they require natural colored hair and nails for their employees so that clients can focus on the work and not the employee. This was incredibly disappointing. Especially since my LinkedIn profile picture clearly shows my very large purple hair. When I brought that to the store managers attention she admitted that they had seen the photo and it was an area of concern. I informed her that the job would work for me. The entire experience was a waste of time. The policy, although legal, is a micro aggression at its finest.
