I think sometimes people won't look past my appearance

In the professional world, in my experience, people do sometimes make initial judgments based on appearances. It’s not fair, but it’s reality. However it doesn’t take long for those judgments to be replaced with a better understanding of what people bring to the job and the conversation. People who are self-confident, bright, hard-working and communicate well (that one is really important) will succeed regardless of appearance and background and other subjective traits. ❤️
