[QUOTE="Linus, post: 215992, member: 41849"] Hi all, I’ve got a question about presentation for City law applications and interviews. I currently wear a short, well-kept beard (more “corporate beard” than hipster) and I’m wondering if I should shave it off when I start heading into interviews and vac schemes. On the one hand, it’s part of my look and I keep it very tidy - edges sharp, length controlled. On the other hand, I know the City has a fairly conservative culture and I rarely see senior partners or politicians with beards. Clean-shaven feels like the safest bet. Do firms really care, or is this one of those things people overthink? Has anyone here gone through interviews with a beard and found it made no difference? Grateful for any perspective - especially from trainees/associates who’ve been through the process recently. [/QUOTE]
