To Prune Or Not To Prune...

[hantsbear]

Dearly beloved aged parent has just rung.  He claims he's not nagging, but I'm afraid I don't see what else it could be.  He rang up to advise me that if I really want to get a decent job, I need to get my hair cut back to about shoulder length, because that's what most interviewers expect.  Sad fact of it is, part of me thinks he's right.  But part of me is offended that people judge on looks not ability.  I know rock_bear will tell me that this is poppycock, but I am convinced that there is a great deal of truth in this.  I need to talk to a few people in the business, and, fellow LiveJournallers, solicit your opinions!

Yes, they will judge.

Should they? No. But they do. Just the world we live in. So you need to take that into account and make your choices from there.

And it isn't just hair. Heck, I know of someone (now gone) where I've worked that used to only want "fit" people to apply and would toss out resumes based *entirely* on looks. No fatties allowed in that club, I guess. :p
