Title: Job Interview
Post by: snowpeck on January 23, 2009, 10:57:51 AM: Hi Guys,

Been really lazy lately and have let my hair grow out to a little longer than a #2 buzzcut. I have a job interview on Tuesday at a TV station in a mid-sized city. Not sure if I should have the shaved head at the interview or not. Definitely plan on having it shaved at work if I get the job, but just not sure if shaved is too off-putting for an interview. Anybody have any thoughts/suggestions/opinions?

Greg

But as someone who hires many an employee, Id rather see the sly, I think it shows discipline.

Post by: Michael on January 23, 2009, 01:25:43 PM: It may be best to go in Sly... then not freak people out afterwards! Lol! I really don't think people care. But if you are going to do it... do it now so that you can get some color back in, let the rash (if any) heal up, etc. Use that Witch Hazel!

Post by: TheSlyBear on January 24, 2009, 11:57:29 PM: You look good either way. But sly certainly makes a statement about confidence. Can you back that up in your interview? If so, go sly.

Works for me.

Post by: Brkeatr on January 25, 2009, 05:10:53 AM: I agree with BB, you look good either way and if you have the confidence and feel secure in going sly than go for it !! O0

Greg, you actually solved this dilemma when you said that you plan to headshave if you get the job. My advice to you would be that you should walk in with your clean shaven head held up high and you'll ace the interview.

Good Luck SLY bro O0
