Your beard is fine by the way, I'd keep it.

A crocodile bit off my face. But didn't like the taste of my beard.

So it nibbled it's way carefully around it?

Oh yeah!

Do you have trouble growing a beard? If not, you really may want to consider shaving yours off before an interview. Any advantage in this job market is a plus. Good luck

Cool! Thanks.
Nah, just no shaving for over a week then trim it so it is even!

I need Ziggy's rating out of 10, she is the expert!

That I am!!

In all honesty....shave it. If it was a fully established beard that you'd been growing for weeks/months, I'd say keep it but make sure it's neat. But yours is too young....it looks like you just couldn't be bothered shaving before the interview. My bf can grow a beard like that within days. Don't risk a job over a beard that you've only been growing for a week.

lol it's not one week, I've had it for ages, I trim it once a week.
Damn I failed Ziggy's criteria :(

You have two choices here, let that baby grow until you're picking twigs out of it or, goatee it down..

Well stop trimming it so short....it will look thicker and less patchy. I'm not saying it's a bad beard....I'm just saying it doesn't look established enough to look 100% professional for an interview.

Passing Ziggy's test is harder than the interview itself

Hack it back with your machette, face minge never works (even on school teachers mugs). I reckon you are a handsome brute underneath all that hair! lmao!

I say leave it, unless your interview is at Gillette.

If you're applying for a spot in a porno, do yourself a favor and adjust it to handle bars.

You'll get the job immediately.

They make you shave everyday? whaaat, thats nuts, do you work at Disney? I know you are not allowed to have a beard working for them.

Wait, it makes more sense to keep the beard for an interview if it were at Gillette, think about it bro, so during the interview you whip out your Gillette and shave right on the spot, just like that...Thats how an interview at Gillette should go down, think they wont hire you after that?

no?

Yep beard is the only way you'd get a job with me

Kilgore_Trout

the way i see it, i wouldn't wanna work for anyone thats intolerant enough to be bothered by a beard (though i know in today's market you can't really be that picky)

not to mention i would feel less confident and less like myself in the interview without it

just keep it clean and nicely trimmed

if you really are on the fence though you might as well play it safe, shave it, and grow it back right after... depends how majestic a beard you have
