Getting a job with long hair?

If you're going to have a mustache you're probably better off having a well-kept beard as well. A mustache by itself looks silly.

Also, I failed to mention in my previous post that grungy rocker hair falls into the same category as long black emo hair.

In the hand book that I received after being hired at my last IT job stated that facial hair was accepted, as long as it was kept short and trimmed. The best way to go about what you're wanting to do is cut it short, get hired and then grow it back out again.

I work in IT and I have facial hair.

omg

Even though that's not me in my picture, but my hair looks kind of like that at the moment. Putting it into a pony tail is no issue and typically looks a little more professional/classy. I have sideburns, mustache, and a small beard but don't have as much of an issue shaving all that off than my long hair. It takes much longer to grow hair back than facial hair. Anyways, I don't plan on becoming a manager or CEO or anything so that's fine. I'm not aiming for any specific IT job but I'm getting a minor in Graphic Design too, so hopefully something involving web design, maybe? I knew I shouldn't listen to my parents...They're both conformist, conservative, racist, glen-beck-lovers.

This. Just tell them they don't work for the company you're applying for, so obviously they don't know wtf they're talking about.

I dunno, I never had any real problems with my hair being all grunge looking.

But for the most part, yeah, his parents are a bit full of shit. Long hair doesn't bar you from being picked up for a job like it used to.

Also: stupid conformists *hair sway*

long hair, don't care

A mustache by itself looks silly.

Apparently people with mustache alone are more successful than someone with both or none.
