Something like 15 years ago, I was in grad school and my elder boomer father in law told me “when it’s time to find a job you can shave your beard.” Only this wasn’t a beard, it was just me not having shaved for a week. Is that what he would prioritize if he were hiring someone?! I’ve met few people in my life who are less in touch than that man

20 odd years ago, getting tired of job interviews and the one time I looked scruffy and unshaven was when they hired me

Like I said, a week of stubble lol

No, but a week’s growth being “noticeable” is far from a “wildman styled beard” lmao.

So that’s a “yes,” then. Good luck with that.
