Leave the lip plumpers at home
A friend told me about an interview candidate she faced across her desk recently. The candidate, a young woman, appeared to have cosmetically enhanced or very unnaturally large lips. As a young woman candidate, I suspected this or this or products like it, rather than surgical alteration.
Here’s a tip for interviewees: leave the lip plumping products out of the interview process. Save the stuff for dates and after hours events. Now, if you look an awful lot like Angelina Jolie and can’t help that you have large, luscious, pouty lips naturally, consider acting.
Oh, and steer clear of my husband.

And this is why I should never work in HR. If I saw a big lipped tramp I’d hire her on the spot before I even looked at her resume.
I wouldn’t last long in HR, but I’d have a blast on my way out the door.
