Bloody 'ell - I have a beard. I'm doomed

Aye, but a beard is a little different than someone who has a day or two of growth. It has been purposely grown rather than some git who couldn`t be bothered to shave each day or before theinterview.

Even if you wanted to grow a beard, if you only had a day or two of growth I`m sure you`d shave it off for an interview?

Must admit that I`d probably hire the one without the beard if two similar candidates appeared, old beardy should have been a teacher.
