Moustaches?

What a bunch of yankers........

Dude,

Trim the stache, look good and screw it! I went to my interview in a BROWN suit with a BLUE dress shirt and a ORANGE tie.

The whole table laughed at me and asked if I didnt get the memo about no blue shirts?

I shot back, "What? I just watched Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and this is the hottest thing going." Sh*t you not! One guy was spitting cofffee through his nose.

I was in and out.... 10 minutes! For the love of Pete, be yourself.

I wouldnt question your clothes, but I would have a problem that you watch that TV show.....and then even admit to watching it.

I've been giving rides for years and have never been turned down...Nope, will not shave it off

Got hired with the same one I've had for 35 years.

Upper white lip? Speak for yourself!

As to the original issue: Don't shave your 'stache. I think it goes to integrity. At the interview you'll be: "This isn't really what I look like. I'm just scamming you to get the job."

The first time you see one of your interviewers after you get the job, you'll be: "Yeah, you HR puke/ Chief Pilot/ etc, I scammed you with that moustache shave-off deal."

I don't think people are that anal anymore, unless you're interviewing with a 4-star General for some fighter squadron. Be yourself, Bro. Sink or swim on who you really are; you'll feel better. (Isn't it all about feelings, these days?) Just groom well!

-- 29 year moustache shaved ONLY during basic training at the point of a gun.

What's the big deal? It takes about 2-3 weeks to regrow the damn thing, unless you're talking about a handle bar style that takes 5-6 weeks. I've also sported a stash for 30 years and cut the thing off for the NJA interview. Grew it back before I got the call.

You may want to be the tough ass that comes wearing jeans with senior test pilot wings on your jean jacket and test your luck, or come looking as clean cut and clean shaven as the majority do, with far less experience, and guess who gets the job? That's just the way it is. I can't believe people are so into this petty crap.

F'em, you like it then keep it. Chances are you'll feel uncomfortable without it and that's the last thing you need for an interview. Besides, do you really want to work for a company that wouldn't hire you because of a mustache?
