Reply to: Should I dye my hair to get a job ?

[Ruse]

Speaking as a bloke:

I dyed my hair earlier this year, that was quickly followed by 3 failed interviews which ruined my 100% success rate. It might have been a coincidence but then I've always played more on my real world experience than technical skill.
When the grey came back I secured a gig.

Needless to say, I'm reluctant to dye it again!

Took you cautionary advice on board, didn't dye my hair, had a permie interview this morning with grey hair. Turns out they wanted someone to take on a team lead role so the grey hair may work in my favour.., have to wait and see...

What next, dye your pubes to solve your erectile disfunction?

No - shave your balls instead.

I don't know whether or not being a bit grey directly affects your chances, but dying your hair might make you feel more confident - and that can come over at interviews (and in other walks of life) too. Why not try one of the off the shelf semi-permanents? They last about 6-8 weeks, and fade naturally, so you don't have the hassle of keeping it up if it's not for you.
Good luck!

They can look terrible.

Best to go to a hairdresser to get your hair dyed the first time.

Something like this, perhaps?

Tut, tut, tut. It should be white knickers with that outfit, Shirley?

I said blond Yeah, white undies too. Maybe those yellow sunshades?

Do that and the contract world will be your lobster.

Depends on what you do. Some roles looking older is a benefit, other roles looking younger is a benefit.

If you think that it's your grey hair then dye it. However dying hair and keeping it up is a hassle......

[MaryPoppins]

..nice manicure and firm handshake.

Nah, don't dye your hair. Wasn't meant to be perhaps, it's just hard to feel your confidence ebbing away I guess. Chin up

[cojak]

Yes, go blond. Get a short skirt, pad yourself out a bit with a plunging neck line. Make sure you have some red on you.

..and don't forget the bang-bang heels....
