Job Interview...need some advice pronto!

[PeripheralxMvmnt]

In speaking with HR reps and interviewers when I was looking for a new job a few months ago, many of them appreciated the shaved head because it looked cleaner. When I explained to a few who asked why I shaved (because I had aggressive MPB) they said it seemed like instead of trying to hide an issue, I took control of it, which made them think higher of me. All I could think when they said this was "I just didnt want to be ugly anymore!" 

Good luck with the hunt!

Here's something to think about for those of you who think that the sly look is frowned upon in professional environments.  I went to a happy hour after work last Friday evening for a co-worker who was leaving.  Our chief accounting officer, a 40-something very prim and proper type lady -- whom many of us find somewhat intimidating -- stopped by to wish the guest of honor well.  With her she brought her new boyfriend who was sporting a zero-guard buzzed head. Not the sort of guy that I would have thought would have been her type at all. 

My point is: in light of this, how likely do you think it is that this woman would be dismissive of a qualified job applicant just because he had a shaved head?
