You like your hairstyle but you wonder if it is the right choice for the employment you are seeking ?
In this case, look yourself in the mirror, and ask yourself about your Elvis Presley pompadour hairstyle. Have you a rocker or a dynamic young executive's style ? Whether you like it or not, your image is what matter the most during your job interview.
According to a study carried out by the researcher Albert Mehrabian, known for his publications about verbal and non verbal communication and his famous three V rule ( 7% verbal communication, 38% Vocal, 55% Visual) it seems like words are less important, with only 7%, while face expressions and body language can make all the difference (with 55%). You can't judge a book by its cover...the same goes for your hairstyle !
Companies often give more credit to someone who « invest in his appearance », who has a masculine and conservative image.
In the hair world, conservatism means more short hair than long hair and then for the look, more mat than shiny.
Get your hairstyle right.
The dandy-sexy executive's look.
For this timeless style, short haircut on the edges and neck and a little bit longer in front -the top of the head.
For instance, this style is really appreciated in the world of finance. In deed, it shows that you take care of yourself, that you are strict but a bit flexible.
If you are trendy but not a « fashion addict », the Pierce Brosman style in James bond is the one for you.
Short and textured hair : conservatism and strong personality.
If you start working and you have ambitions and a very strong personality, you can apply for a high-responsibility job.
You'll just need to have a short haircut and texture you hair with gel or wax/cream. It doesn’t take time plus you take care of yourself. Action, reaction, efficiency. Nothing, not even a wayward strand of hair can beat you. It is the Daniel Craig style.
For artistic men :
For those who are working in fields which are less strict appearance-wise, you will be able to be more « creative ».
If you are working in artistic fields like music, fashion or advertising, be careful ! People around you can easily judge you.
In or out, you must get it right if you want to be part of this world were image is everything.
