Survey!

        Part of my project was for me to have this "journal". I was suppost to have a question to ask people about their opinion of my topic. Well I couldn't pick just one question, or really even two since my topic (Expressing yourself in the workplace and at school) is one, very debated and two, people have a hard time just saying yes or no to things, there seems to always be exceptions. For example, one of my questions was "Would a person having a tattoo/piercing/or dyed hair influce your decision on whether you'd hire that person or not?" and almost everytime a person read it said "Depends on the job" and I agree. Which is why I chose to do a survey!
      Below is the survey that I handed out and emailed to people. As you can see, the boxes for #3 don't line up on the blog, but on the survey they were next to each selection.


 1) How important is it to you that you’re able to express yourself in your work place?  
 (Place and X in one box. 1-very important – 5- not important)

      1                                    2                                  3                                     4                                       5

2)      At School? (Please disregard if not student)

      1                                   2                                   3                                      4                                      5

3)      Check all that you think should be allowed in the work place (or in school if you’re a student).

 Small visible tattoo                                             Large visible tattoo

Hidden tattoo                                                       Pierced ears

                Yes                                                         No

5)      Do you think that having a tattoo/piercing/ or dyed hair will affect your chances of getting hired?

6)      Would it influence your decision on whether you’d hire a person or not?

Yes                                                         No
