Well my colleagues liked my SLY look and so did my boss. However when going for an interview proceed with caution. Just keep it to a number 1 or 2.
StumpyDave:
I hold a senior position in my company but I started here when I was but a callow yoof!
One of my colleagues on the board thinks that my look is intimidating and not fitting with a conservative business image. I feel that I am employed because of the way the contents of my head work, and not how it looks on the outside. My customers don't seem to be upset with the way I look as long as I get the job done.
Some people will definitely be put off by slyness at a job interview.
Jer:
I agree with everyone, sly doesn't make a difference. Are you going for American or Canadian federal law enforcement? I do that up here in the great white north, and one great benefit is in our control and defensive tactics training one thing they always tell us to watch out for is people grabbing the hair to drop you or vice versa. Sly means less for them to grab hold of to try and take you down first.
Also, like was said earlier, for them to judge due to being sly is pure and simple discrimination, and the last place you'd get that treatment would be applying for a job in the federal government, either here in Canada or in he US.
Good luck getting in!

Barely, it took a lot of brain power for that one. So much in fact, it put me behind on my thinking for today.
