Title: Does being bald affect chances of getting a job?
Post by: regularJ101 on January 30, 2011, 09:12:26 AM

I was wondering this. I don't know why, but do you think an employer would not want to hire a bald guy, for whatever reason? Or maybe a bald guy would stand out more and be more memorable after an interview, if he performed well with the interview questions.

Can anyone here share their experiences with getting a job when their interviewer saw them bald?

I got one, frankly the follicle style is a non-issue.  What matters is experience and knowledge of subject matter, ability to express yourself clearly, and dressing appropriately for the position.  Hair, or the lack thereof isn't an issue, really.
