• Some of the police academies have gone back to real military regimentation(Thank God) and the instructors make the recruits shave slick daily, which of course, I believe is outstanding.

• Friend of mine sales Timeshare units. He is completely bald and one of their top salesmen. The SLY look has certainly not hurt him at all.

• Welcome to SBG hammerdrill !  North Carolina guy here, living in exile in Chicago.  The sly look suits you.  Did you just shave the dome recently?

• Thanks SimplyRed...Yes I did...last weekend. Hair on top was thinning fasssssst. So decided to go with the SLY look. Happy so far and no negative comments at all.

  Hey everyone, I was reading an article in my college newspaper talking about acceptable appearance for job interviews.  It said that haircuts should be kept conservative.  I was wondering what you guys thought.  Is going sly radical or can it be considered "conservative"?  Has being sly ever hurt you in getting a job or even helped it?  My goal is to get into federal law enforcement, and from what I've seen, law enforcement agencies are very sly-friendly.
  

  
  here is a test to see what works better:
  
  Put on a reggae wig and a t-shirt with a pot leaf on it, and go into an interview.  Then go into one looking sly, and see which one went better.

• GTM, Sly shouldn't be a problem in 95-99% for the places, but your clothes have to be clean, pressed and neat, not extreme--no tank tops of course, but no extreme patterned shirts or suits, shoes shined, fingernails clean and well cut--and brush your teeth and of course no nose hairs , the Sly look has one real advantage provided all the rest of the outfit works, they will remember you.  An be careful shaving the morning of the interview , a bandage might detract from the effect.

  I agree, hygiene, manner of dress, and professional demeanor have a much greater impact on first impressions rather than hair.  I believe 80% of the population has accepted head shaving, and it looks much better and less distracting than a comb-over or a cul-de-sac on top of your head.  As mentioned in another thread, being sly has actually improved my credibility with some of the patients I encounter (I'm a mid-level practitioner) since it makes me look much more mature and in some ways, wise and experienced. 
  
  It can also plays to an advantage in the area where I work (inner-city).  I'm less likely to be harassed since I look like I know Kung-Fu.  J/K...  LOL.

• I see at least 3 or 4 sly lawyers a day around the courthouse.  I think sly is accepted.  I can't wait until we have a sly president.

• I would not and could not work for an outfit that was so shallow that they judge a candidate on his appearance rather then his ability to carry out the job as required!

• I must point out that I wasn't suggesting that I would support a candidate simply due to his slyness.
