Should I cover my self inflicted cuts on my wrist for my job interview? (pictures included)?
The job is for a christmas casual position at an active wear shop that promotes healthy living, and being a confident woman.
It’s summer in Australia, so long sleeves will look odd.
I’ve included pictures if you wish to view the cope of my scars.
There are no ‘new’ cuts ie. the last week.
If you think I should cover them, with what or how?
If you think I should not worry to cover them how should I best address questions if directed towards them?

IN PERSPECTIVE TO MY BODY

For the RECORD I have never EVER shown my scars to anyone and haven’t yet worn short sleeves in public. I am not an attention seeker. I am seeking genuine advice. I am in therapy for long-term sexual abuse and depression and it has taken a lot of courage to gather up the self confidence to apply for a job, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
As difficult as it might be, you should definitely cover them up for the job interview. I doubt that you could cover them sufficiently with makeup, tanning solutions, or anything else so long sleeves would be required. Even trying to hide them by wearing short sleeves but hanging your arms at your side would not work. If you are right handed and extend that arm to shake hands the scars would then show. However, just in the natural process of the interview you would likely show off the scars whether you intended to or not.
I’ve traveled to Australia several times on business but I’m not familiar enough with your culture. However, I don’t see how you could explain the scars for that type of position. It would be the same as having lots of facial piercings, insisting that the piercings stay in place and trying to get a job in such a place. Probably not going to happen.
Also, thanks for the further clarification. I think it would do you wonders to interview for that job and hopefully you will get it. Work on your confidence and hold you head up high, look them straight in the eyes and never downwards, plus practice this both in the mirror and with friends and family members to make sure you get it right. Plus research all you can about the store so that you can tell them what you like about them and the position you are applying for. It would be wonderful for you to have a job and something positive to focus on besides your problems and thus it would be a type of therapy.
I have a family friend whose daughter cuts similar to yours and who is now attending college. It seems that her having summer jobs and then moving away to college have helped her a lot with her problems. And I hope the same for you!
My thoughts and prayers are with you!
