Message: <blockquote data-quote="vera.mekhonoshina" data-source="post: 216000" data-attributes="member: 30780">Hi [USER=41849]@Linus[/USER], That's a really good question that I'm sure a lot of people will find insightful. While I can't speak from personal experience on this exact point, I was also worried about coming across as professional and feeling my best during law firm interviews when I was applying.When you get an interview invitation from a specific law firm, I would consider checking its website and assessing whether any trainees or associates have similar facial hair. I would consider reaching out on LinkedIn to future or current trainees at the firm that have a beard and asking them about their experience and approach - they will be best placed to advise on that specific firm's culture and preferences.At the same time, you said that you would consider a clean-shaven look as the safest bet. From my perspective, this now becomes a question of confidence and peace of mind on the day. If you kept the beard, do you think you would overthink this at the interview? Is there any chance that second-guessing your choice would hinder your interview performance or affect your focus? In other words, I would choose the option that would make you feel calm, confident, less stressed and more concentrated on your knowledge and interview performance <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> I'm sorry I can't give a more definitive answer, but I hope this helps!</blockquote>
