Shave for Interview?
I have a couple IB SA interviews coming up which are all virtual and I’m wondering if I should shave my beard I’ve been working on for a while. I cleaned it and cut it a little bit shorter. Wondering how strict bankers still are with beards? Thoughts?
Do whatever is comfortable. If its clean I don't think its that big of a deal.
Interviewed at a BB last year with a beard, got the SA offer. Did the summer with an even longer beard and converted.
Like above poster said, do what you think would make you more comfortable/perform better. Also no point in shaving it if it’s going to make you miserable.
i personally think people don’t care if you have a beard or not anymore... as long as it looks somewhat presentable!
good luck
"strick"
Hiring managers and HR teams are not meant to discriminate based on hair styles, facial hair or similar.
Do what you feel OK with as long as it is styled in a way and doesn't look unkempt.
Better to just be safe
You really gonna risk an entire summer internship over a beard? Just play it safe and shave it
In-person interviews, beard is totally fine
If your interviews are on Zoom, you can have a beard but you need to be much more aware of the lighting and background. You can easily look unkempt over video even if you're dressed up and a beard doesn't help that. Would recommend hopping on Zoom either by yourself or with a buddy to see how it looks, but unless you have amazing lighting I'd shave
They are fairly STRICK - I'd be cautious
I would go one step further-the fact you are posting on here clearly means you would shave it off but just would prefer not to.
i have interviewed a lot in my career (as in have been the interviewer). Simple tip and question-why wouldn’t you shave? You have nothing to gain and everything to lose, because you quite like your beard at this age. If you are posting on a forum questioning it get rid.
Feel free to take a picture and DM me so I can double confirm to get rid of that bum fluff.
FWIW, a friend just got a superday invite and he had a beard on hirevue.
