So, I'm not a hippy. But for the past 17 years I've had long hair. NO, not a mullet,long hair. When it's tied back the pony tail is about to the middle of my back. Only recently have I started to explore my reasons for this.
Ran into a bit of bad luck a month ago or so, now I'm looking for a job. I can't find one, been on a few interviews, had a promising feel from ATT, but still nothing.
Several people have suggested that I cut my hair. I hope nobody laughs at this, it might seem silly to someone who has never had this type of hair style, but it's very traumatic to me. I mean, I may as well just cut off a foot.
Plain and simple, my girlfriend loves it,(the girls always have), I love it, I've actually got nice hair. I wouldn't even know what to do with short hair. I've never had to style it, i just tie it back and go. But now I'm starting to feel like it's time to do the deed. I've only a sneaking suspicion that it's keeping me from getting hired anywhere. People have always told me I should cut my hair before I go to an interview, but I've always had a job so I never worried about it.
For the record, I'm not trying to get some high profile 6 figure office job, but the ATT job is as installation technician, so there would be customer interaction.
I'm not gonna do a poll, but I would like to know what you all think, or if any of you have ever faced this. Am I being stupid? Shouldn't they just let me know at the interview that I will need to cut my hair? I hate to cut it just to find out the company has no rules regarding hair length.
If there are any employers or experienced interviewers that would like to chime in that would be great.
