Hairdo? Hear me out...

If you don't look like a thug with no hair you will be fine.

Hi folks. I've been a permie with the same employer for the last 11 years, however the joys of redundancy are now ahead of me. As I'll have a reasonable amount of capital behind me once my notice has been served, I'm planning on trying my hand at contracting.

However! It's been a fair old while since I've been for any kind of interview, so no doubt things have changed over the last decade. Amongst other things I've got to consider, is my appearance: I've had a clean-shaven head for the last 10 years or so - mainly because I can't be bothered with maintaining any kind of "do". I've now let it grow for a month or so and to my surprise I've still got a reasonable head of hair, although it's greying slightly...

Do you feel there's any kind of stigma attached to having a clean-shaven head? i.e. should I continue to grow my locks into some kind of hairstyle to aid my finding a role, or do you think prospective employers wouldn't judge on hairdo?

It may seem a trivial question, however having hair is driving me mad, sticking up in all kinds of angles (I think my hair has "forgotten" how to grow properly) and I'm itching to get rid!

Any advice/thoughts would be welcomed!

Cheers,

Tez

Are you male or female?

The bush is back!


Too posh for bush? Why it's time to let your lady garden become a forest... - Tatler

. The bush has become fashionable again, celebrated by millennial models, Miley Cyrus, Scout Willis and Lady Gaga. Brazilian waxes feel dated, from a more finickity time, when we were obsessed with depilation because we had nothing else to worry about. I think it started with Cara Delevingne's eyebrows, thick and fierce. If eyebrows should be thick and fierce shouldn't a bush be too? What kind of strong woman has a Hitler moustache, suggesting sexual submission and a constant, unnatural state of prepubescence? Not me.

so there you are don't forget to condition.

Are you fat and lazy as well?

I've known people judge potential candidates (contractors and FTE) on appearance, irrespective of experience, however my view is very narrow having been with one company for so long, hence the question.

Bald head i can manage, but my beard growing skills, are comparable to those of a prepubescent girl...

Why don't you experiment with a variety of templates and see what kind of response you get with each one....?
