I Truly Believe That Being Bald Also Makes It That Much Harder To Find A Good Job

[rick39]

Anyone looking for work knows that there is a lot of competition for any job these days and I think that being bald especially as a white guy is also a big disadvantage when looking for a job in addition to dating etc.

Does anyone agree with me and is anyone else here struggling to earn a living?

I'd like to hear about some people's job search/interview experiences as a bald man and if you've noticed any discrimination that I think occurs, mostly subtly.

I think it only depends on the type of job.
A welder, probably not so much.
Someone in sales. More likely.

Most likely.

Yes, definitely - hair is essential your appearance and 1st impressions.

Some years ago, when I cut my hair (used to be really long) I got the the job at every interview I went to, no joke. However, once the temple recession got to a noticeable point and the diffusion rendered my thinning hair on top perpetually "messy" looking, I've not been nearly so successful for any job that would've required public relations.

depends on what job. When it comes to factory jobs, I don't think they would really care. When it comes to door knockers or shop clerks then yeah its better to have hair
