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
