Job Interview Questions: Going on a job interview and I have a way shallow question - Poll?

Due to being unemployed I have not been able to keep up with my hair color. I have a stellar job interview this week, good navy dress suit, nice shoes, classy jewlery, perfect perfume ... but I have a bit of gray in my hair ... I kinda like it ... but I am not sure if I should color it to cover the gray??? What's going to get me the job ... leave it or color it?

I would say leave the gray, it shows experience. It also shows that you're comfortable enough in your own skin to let the gray grow in, its a sign of self confidence. :-)

Job Interview Techniques - 3 Super Tips When Preparing For A Job Interview

• Honestly you should color it. Employers look at everything when your being interviewed not just your resume. And it maybe shallow but they are looking at your appearance as well. You are up against a lot of people especially with this job market. So you don't want to come across as needing this job as much as you might. Now is the time that they can be picky because there are so many possible employees to chose from. To them it may not make a difference but why risk it coming down to something that small and you not getting the job just because they think your appearance is lacking. If you can't afford to get it professionally done get a box color and do your whole head one color. At least you will look presentable until you get your first paycheck and can afford to get it they way you want. Good Luck


• Your best bet is to appear as professional as possible. For a more polished look I would say color it but if they don't give you the job because a few gray hairs or heck even a head full of gray then that job was not for you.


• That's WWWAAAYYYYY shallow. It doesn't matter. You're either qualified or not.
