Dye your hair if you want a job (A little light banter 16th January) was about altering appearance to look younger.
Yet it reminded me of a story I heard a few years ago about a guy who had his hair streaked grey.
He’d gone for several interviews with advertising agencies in senior creative roles and believed he was being rejected because he looked too young: That the hirers didn’t reckon he looked old enough to convince clients (and potential clients) that he enough experience to know what he was talking about.
The grey gave him the gravitas and (maybe equally importantly) the confidence he needed when meeting them for the first time.
Dunno whether it worked but, if you like he are a bit too baby-faced for the roles you’re going after, it might well be worth a go…
Meanwhile a bit of fun for the ladies (chaps can have a go, too but it’s a bit ‘girlie’): What’s your hair colour personality?
Younger? Older? Or just different?
