Interview attire - Hair gel?

Hey everyone, I have really short hair and I always get a fresh haircut before interviews. However I never put hair gel or anything else into my hair. Could that be considered sloppy and have some people think I don't care much about the interview? Thanks in advance.

you're about to have an interview and you are concerned about whether or not to use product in your hair?

You're born, you take shit. You get out in the world, you take more shit. You climb a little higher, you take less shit. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake, son.
 

I gelled it and got a FT offer. I don't really think this matters, unless the competition is exceptionally fierce and they see gel/non-gel as not going with their corporate culture. Just go in, be confident, know your technicals, and boss it up!

Best of luck!

 

^ I def feel your pain. I've been dinged for some pretty trivial minutia before I received my FT offer.
