I have a job interview tomorrow - question regarding facial hair
Is it appropriate to keep facial hair for a job interview?

I keep my beard trimmed and clean - doesn't look like a scraggly mess. I'm young, but look like I'm about 12 years old clean shaven.

Any input appreciated.

**** that. If you're just going to regrow it, tell them who they're getting up front. Let your experience and personality get you the job.

I always present who I am. I'm not going to change who I am. I don't want to set an expectation that I'm not willing to uphold. That means I'm going in with facial hair of some sort, and every interview in the past 10 years, I didn't wear a tie. I'll wear a nice shirt, slacks, a blazer if that's what they want. I don't do ties.

Dang, 7 jobs in 15 years? What do you say when they ask where you want to be in 5 years, 3 jobs down the line?

Like I said some of those were at the same time.

From 2000-06 I worked three jobs - newspaper, TV, and a church. From then on, all TV jobs. Moving locations, moving jobs, moving companies is part of the culture, so no one really bats an eye when you only stay somewhere for a couple years.

As for my job, I'm in a great position and the company likes me. I'm kinda forging my own path, which is pretty cool. The last two jobs I've had were positions that were created for me.

I should clarify that I've been with the same company since 2008, though I've had unrelated jobs in that company and moved departments and locations.

I didn't take it as a knock.

Tell them you have to have some hair on your body to feel masculine but if it makes you feel better I shaved my balls.

Clean shaven is the way to go at all times. I applied for my first faculty position at age 30. I looked so young that at the first faculty meeting I was assumed to be the son of one of the other faculty members. I had to wear a tie into the classroom to avoid being mistaken for another student. Appearing younger than my age never slowed me down a bit.

If you are young, I would say go into like your talking to your dad with humility and respect, not like some alpha male that wants to take over the company.

Giving yourself a clean shaven appearance is usually the best bet. Depends on the job of course. Currently no one cares if I shave for what I am doing but I don't let it get out of hand.
