Beard or no beard for new job? Discussion
To shave or not to shave? I had a recently started looking for a new job. I have about a 6" long beard. I applied for 3 jobs. 3 of which offered me jobs and I took two of the jobs. So my question is do you shave before interviews or would you hire anyone with abnormally long beards?
my thoughts are that it depends on the industry. what do you guys think?

I can see that. I havent been without facial hair for years now and would be scared to do so. I started this after a debate with a few family members. They asked how I would go into a "richy" country club and get a job with a long beard, so I did it today and just laughed to myself.... I just wanted to get everyone elses opinion or experiences.

Yeah, I get ya. I personally would have no problem taking on staff who had beards regardless of profession. If you look good with it and are comfortable, then you wear that beard with pride! :D

I have had thick long beard for over a 4 years now... If your clean & well mannered, it does not matter at all...

I am a manager of a company and I have a beard but not very long and i leave my neck bare and clean shaven. I usually trim it down to about a half inch every two weeks. Beards are not unprofessional at all unless they are very long and not taken care of.
