Bearded baldies and the corporate world

Not exceptional at the moment, but thanks for asking. I've been working temp jobs for a while now to make ends meet. I had an interview the week before last and got offered the job, but the pay was lower than for the temp jobs I'm working and the work wasn't insurance related.
In November I passed the first actuarial exam (for risk management) and have a math degree, but for some reason I'm having a hard to getting my foot inside the door at an insurance company. My goal is to be an actuary, and I don't mind working my way up from the bottom.
I'm a great worker someone hire me!! ;D O0
Red, how did your two month streak end?
Sly Red:
I'm a consultant in IT, so eventually jobs just happen. Are you open to relocation? Chicago has lots of opportunities in your field. Are you downstate? I ask because you mentioned State Farm.

Then shave it so it doesn't undermine your confidence.
It grows back ;)

This is great advice, but I feel I'm in a catch 22. I feel more confident with a beard, so I don't want to shave it and I think it looks better. But I don't want to look 2nd rate at the interview lol.
It's not a huge deal, I'll probably just hack the thing off for a while and scope out the other employees like the previous posters suggested.

Yes, I'm open for relocation. I'm currently in Austin, Texas. I love it here, but would move for a job.
Many actuaries work in Chicago or somewhere in the north east in the huge corporate offices. I've applied to jobs around there and have two actuarial recruiters working for me, but haven't had anything concrete come up. But I'm thinking positive and studying for the next exam. It's just a matter of time.
I think I'll shave to the goat today come to think about it, wouldn't want a funny beard tan lol.
