Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am a Christian woman, exploring the practice of covering my hair in public. Because I started covering after the beginning of my school year (I teach Head Start), I do not cover often at work. Maybe one or two days. But I do on weekends and evenings when I leave the house. For me, it is a tangible reminder of the awesomeness of G-d. I look forward to seeing more!
You are right about wearing a scarf to an interview. I am of Holiness belief, I cover my head always in public. I interviewed with my scarf and received the position. I not wear fake hair to assimilate with the world. I personally refuse to compromise and the has provided with my obedience. I enjoy viewing your store and look forward to do business with you.
Wonderful video! I remembered two years ago I got my jobs wearing my scarf. But I feel if I were to do it again I would feel nervous or not as confident. I'm Muslim and struggling to keep my hair covered cause times are different now and lots of hate and discrimination of Muslims 😔 much respect to all ladies who cover , keep strong ❤
I worked at toys r us over the holiday season and went to the interview with my head covered and worked everyday with my head covered. Never got any questions from any of my managers.
Thanks for this video, it's interesting insight. I only recently started covering. Thankfully I currently can dress however I want for my work, but I have had jobs in the past where we were not allowed to wear anything on our head, and if I had covered then I would have had to get special allowance for religious beliefs. Since I've started covering I've been nervous about what it would be like if I ever go back to a job like that. You ladies do such great work with your videos, thank you again.
I'm sure Naomi Rose will cover this aspect, but I think a lot of the impression will also be carried by the rest of the outfit. A lot, of course, depends on what is considered 'corporate dress' where you are (certainly New York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, DC etc. are different from other places in the country), but wearing your best matching long sleeved jacket with a matching skirt will, I think, go a long way to sending the 'I'm a serious, competent person" message.
I like this video! I interviewed without a tichel, then added it after I was hired. They are fine about it, once they understood. As long it is black, like the uniform (yuck..) but I do it. And they are cool.
I am a teacher and did not cover when I was hired. When I first started wearing my scarf, most of my students believed it was because I have locs. I put a lot of time and effort into matching my scarves with my outfit and gotten plenty of compliments. I think because I am black and covering is cultural as well as religious, I did not get negative or adverse energy.
Good video. There are different challenges when starting to cover in the job that you have, and when interviewing. I've done both now. May I ask how you wrapped your headscarf, and the shape of your scarf that you wear in the video? What's your opinion on what styles and fabrics to use when covering, when your company's policy includes a section on hairstyles being not too fancy.
Hi, Sabine! Unfortunately, we have yet to make a second video. :( Is there a certain aspect of haircovering in the professional world that you'd like to be discussed? We'd love to make another one!
Wrapunzel Ladies Sorry for coming back this late. I didn't see your answer. I would be interested in how to dress modestly and professional. I find it very hard to mix a tichel with the usual business style.
@@WrapunzelOfficial please make video part 2. Im jobhunting right now and i have recently started to cover my head. Going out with head covered (in a country where noone does that except for very few foreign muslim female students) and going for an interview is a different thing. My only thougt is to wear dark blue or black scarf to match my blazer. Thank you for this vid and thank you for part 2 in advance.
I don't cover for religious reasons, but I cover almost all the time. I wore it to my interview. I asked about it and the response was as long as it wasn't too flamboyant. Later, after I got the job, I read in the handbook that they were not allowed to discriminate based on or even comment on head coverings. So I do mostly simple wraps in solid colors, but I've only ever gotten positive comments. Of course things have changed in the last 8 years.
Choose a color that makes you feel your most beautiful. For me, it red. I feel gorgeous in my red scarves and I think it's my most flattering color on me
I loved your video. When can we expect the next one? I will soon be job hunting after years of being a stay at home mom. My husband and I have decided I should do so wearing a tichel. I thought about going out and buying a wig which he said was not necessary. I would love more information about wearing tichels in the workplace.
Agree with your lovely advice...keeping in mind that Hashem is on our side...emunah...thank you so much dear one...you give me the encouragement I need more than ever...
Interesting. From my interviews in the Health Service, managers responded well to Teal, Blue, and Green. No-one commented on the scarf other than to ask if hair nets if needed in surgical areas were a problem. The weirdest day I ever had was the entire ER team called out on Yom Kippur...half of us were Jews. It was surreal seeing prayer shawls under white coats LOL...

Good advise; and the way you wrapped your scarf is very nice too.

I love that blue

+Victoria Howard Good to hear!, Victoria!

Very good commentary. How can I locate the second part of the commentary.

Thank you for this video. Unfortunately I couldn't find the second video. Could you please help me?

How do you know your colors

Your tichel is gorgeous, Kathy! :)
Hi! I just wanted to say that I love your headscarves/tichels. Just curious, have you ever encountered men that wear them? Thank you!
+Elijah Weikel Are men supposed to wear them? Seemed to me a tichel is basically a women's garment.
+Elijah Weikel Sikh men wear turbans!
several of my Muslim friends wear headcoverings, either a turban, "scarf" or "cap"
Can't wait To see the 2nd part.
Me too!
Agree with your lovely advice...keeping in mind that Hashem is on our side...emunah...thank you so much dear one...you give me the encouragement I need more than ever...
So glad this was helpful for you, Debra!
I'm a "winter," look best in jewel tones.
Interesting.

I went for a job interview with my tichel on. (of course).. more than quliafied I did not get the job.
It would seem a problem only you had to wear some sort of head gear like a hard hat...
