Beard in banking

Hi,

I am almost bald and as a concsequence have my head shaved. To not look like a nude ball I have a short trimmed moustache and chin beard (also pretty short). Is this a no-go in the financial sector and therefore I should be shaved for job interviews?

Cheers

I have approached every interview with a clean shaven face. I think shaved to skin up top and beard does not look professional, however, once you have been there awhile it may work. Balding and beard are fine. That is just my opinion.

Only two sources I trust, Glenn Beck and singing woodland creatures.

shave it all off and rock the vin diesel + red tie = hitman = juicy end of the year bonus = ferrari = fashion week models = rooftop parties = drugs = fired = hobo = grow beard

What concert costs 45 cents? 50 Cent feat. Nickelback.
