That’s what I’m wondering.
If they’re the type of place that’s going to hire undocumented workers, why the hell would they care if you have a beard or not?
good question…
Plostfu
I’ve been told that long time beard wearers unconsciously hold thier chins differently, so that when they shave they appear to be chinless. Saw my ex w/o his beard once. seemed true in his case.
This is the first time I’ve seen anyone pit their own face… I just picture 12 year olds screaming at each other retaliation “I pit yo momma!” “Well, I pit yo face!” “No you can’t! I pit my OWN face! Nyah!”
Interesting. But yeah, good luck in growing it back 
I just needed to vent. It’s been 8 months unemployed, off and on and I’m sick of it.
re: jobs
In my area, all the entry level stuff, part-time, and manual labor is eaten up by illegals, or necessitates spanish since the area has grown so heavily in the last few years. All the higher end stuff requires ridiculous amounts of experience that I do not have, and have not been available anyway since several months ago anyway. What’s left over is commission sales with no draw, or pyramid schemes. I don’t have any medical training so that’s out, and going back to school and living on loans is not an option as I have worked extremely hard to be completely debt free. At this point I’ll take anything I can find.
The good thing is that you’ve taken that first important step and blamed everyone else for your problems.
Now you’re well on your way to turning your situation around.
I’ll have you know that my beard was always well combed and evenly trimmed. It just was too long or too thick and fuzzy. Fuck. Being bearded is the natural state of most adult men, i don’t see why it should be a bad thing culturally.
Not anymore. All the Latino words have stopped it from being employed.
Yes, grooming is the key. Women (most…settle down!) are naturally somewhat hairy, too. Should I let my pit, leg and bikini area hair grow out, put on a thong and star in the Christmas parade? 
I don’t want to make light of your situation, but if you love having a beard, they’re ubiquitous in indie band members and actors. Seriously, every guy I know has one to match his faux-hobo wear.
Um, dude, you’re pretty… how can I put this… distinctive? Even without the beard. Besides, what the eff do you care if you look like a generic young man?
You can’t get tickets for Driving While Bearded anymore, for one thing.
Yes, absolutely. That would be awesome.
I can feel **Acid Lamp **on this one. I grew my beard in nice and full for halloween this year and finally gave in to the pressure to shave it off from my girlfriend and the first time I looked in the mirror after shaving I was aghast at my pale and pasty looking self. I looked like I was 12.
I’ve trimmed but not shaved since.
I’d do it again for a job interview though.
And then grow it right back.
Yep then tie some extensions into it and use it like a beaded curtain.
300+ completed applications, and a whopping 3 interviews in 8 months begs to differ with your sarcasm.:mad:
Sounds like you need some help with your resume.
The peanut gallery knows why I am laughing.
Tries that already as well, and temping, and even worked with a headhunter for a while. She had to refund my fee from lack of ability to find ANYTHING. All her clients had dried up.
I’ve worn a short beard for over 20 years. Every five years or so I shave it off just to remind myself why I grew it in the first place (actually I initially grew it because I thought facial hair was somehow masculine) . I don’t look good or bad. I look like my father. No, thanks.
The first step in embracing your being a loser is to accept that you are a loser. Congratulation on taking that first step.
