Surely sporting a beard canr hinder an applicant at an interview? Especially these days when they are trendy? What's your take on it?

I'd never employ a girl with a beard, call me sexist..

 

In this day and age thats a possible scenario, you'd have a discrimination case on your hands for that.

 

I would hire a man in a dress, so I guess it evens out ?

 

in the end I shaved it off.. all those months of hard growing, gone for a job I probably wont get I didnt clean shave though I still have abit. Me not having a beard makes me look 15.

 

You know I'm talking about her face right ?

 

Every interview i've been to with a beard, all good so far

 

what's the interview for? if you don't mind me asking, Juelz?

 

It's irrelevant. Beard or no beard, doesn't matter. The persons ability to execute the job is the main target after all.

 

I think it's important to look presentable and professional, nice and tidy. Looking scruffy comes across as unprofessional and unorganised and lazy.

I'm not sure about IT, but generally speaking I've seen recruiters tick of a check list and one of the first things is appearance and hygiene, second comes knowledge and ability to be able to demonstrate it with examples using the STAR method etc.

 

Shave your balls and wear your lucky pants...
