Alright!
This is the proposed case: Barry is looking to employ someone. He needs someone with basic computer skills and who is knowledgeable in English.
Barry, a man enters your office, he has tatoos on both arms, but he is a normal looking fellow.
You ask him his most recent work experience, and he tells you he has been made redundant six months ago, but that the Jobcentre referred him to Skills Training, who got him on to an IT skills course which he passed.
He passes you the qualifications, but you don't like the tatoos on the arm. He's looking at you, and his arm is out-stretched to you, you're the first person he's applied to for a job since passing his exams. He's 25, a young man.
You turn him down for no apparent reason that HE can understand. His confidence is gone!
He leaves your office a sad man, mumbling something about injustice, because he can't understand why you turned him down for any reason that he can grasp.
You shake your head, such people you don't want working in your office. You then see that a small sheet of paper had slipped from among his documents, so you want to get up and give it to him before he disappears from the road in front of your office, as that sheet of paper is part of his work-seeking experience.
In fact he didn't get the chance to go any further in explaining his previous work experience, as you already turned him down.
You look at the sheet a second, and suddenly read:
...has been a soldier in the British Army, served in Afghanistan, returned home in January 2011, was made redundant in March 2011 ...
Would you go after him and ask him back?
Many British soldiers wear tatoos, Barry, many are being laid off, many have gone to Afghanistan.
