Hair up or down?

Just sent a thank you email about 40 minutes ago. Got this in reply:

Thanks Stephen

We will be in touch.

-Operations manager where I applied

For what it’s worth, I wore my hair up.

Lol, I thought you meant the beard and was expecting you to look like ZZ Top in the next picture. Go get ‘em!

It depends on the gig, but I would go with “up.”

Really depends on the office. Are they laid back (sneakers and khakis instead of suits) or are they stuffy (suits and ties)?

I got a job as a Marine Corps advisor with long ass hair and it was down during the interview. I was easy to spot in the crowd when folks were looking for me.

Up: Creative Director at an ad agency; Down: Surfboard/Skateboard manufacturing company; Man-bun: Everything else. I don't actually endorse this last one, I just blame the millenials.

Up, looks more professional. Now if the interview is for the lead signer of a band, i vote down.

Up or cut. Trim beard to just goatee and stash. After you get the job you can likely grow it all back and have no issues.

Hey fellow longhair! I vote up for the interview.

It’s “Dealer Services Coordinator,” at an auto auction. I think it went well. I’d be doing a little bit of everything with paperwork, inventory, and customer service. It’s also a 30% pay raise.

Ah, the dreaded “you’ll hear from us.” Good luck.

Yes, I would say that this is dreaded because this is basically meaningless at this point, just acknowledgement that the meeting happened and some further communication will happen.

“Steve” needs to have asked what the timeline is for making a decision, and follow up at a reasonable time to check on the status of the decision. The response to that will be more telling.

Here is hoping that the next word is positive!

Dealer only auction or open?

She told me that the follow up would be 7 days. So I’m going to give her a call next Monday to keep in front of her face.

It’s a dealer auction - actually a clearinghouse for the no-value trades from a local dealer group or the trade-ins that haven’t sold after 90 days.

Hair up, lose the beard. Trust me, I have a ponytail, and it’s not the worst thing in the world to have, but added with the beard, it just doesn’t play.

It’s a little late. I posted this like 1/2 hour before my interview. Interviewer and I had good rapport, and I got a response back immediately after I sent my thank you note. Also, my wife likes my beard and long hair - and making her happy is awfully important.

Nice...I used to work those auctions a little bit when I worked for a smaller CarMax competitor. About every 2 months they would offload the stuff that couldn’t be resold and wasn’t good enough to go to Manheim (etc). Lots and lots of paperwork, but it was the most interesting part of the job to watch a bunch of rednecks try to make sense of what a ‘92 Alfa Spyder was worth (hint: My “Negative $7,000" offer didn’t make anyone laugh).
