Hey, that addresses one issue--if you've got braids in it it looks like
you _mean_ to have it. One dealkiller IMO is the guys who show up with
the kind of beard that looks like they forgot to shave.


I didn't forget to shave, I just haven't ...

My girlfriend likes my beard. I'm afraid to tell her, I didn't so
much "grow a beard" as "not shave" for six months.

Yesterday I had a discussion with a manager of a group
of four people about 'interview skill'.
She told me that her most valuable employees are precisely
those that interviewed the *worst*. She has two in
particular that are smart, hard working, trustworthy and
valuable. The first is not particularly articulate in
an interview setting and the second insisted on asking
questions about benefits and vacation time!

I think the interview appeals to our Western
Linear Thinking. Unfortunately it may not be nearly
as valuable as we think it is.

Winston, academic research agrees with you in that interviews are
usually worthless.

What I try to do at interviews is to gauge the technical skill of the
applicant.

All depends. I heard of a guy who wrote out his resume in pencil,
on a kid's tablet. Went to the interview in jeans, tee shirt, and
articulated 'Day of the Dead' skeleton earring (back when such things
were still fringe.) I understand he did rake out the beard and pony
tale.
They hired him, at 60k. In 1984 dollars.

But then again, they were head hunting him; they wanted him. They
were willing to put up with any "personal quirks" to get his skills. I
suspect he did it that away, too see if they could work with someone
of his high geekiness.

I have learned that in some areas, the person you 'want' has,
sometimes, has .... "unique" personality traits. They do the job
really, really, really well ... but on their terms or not at all. Like
the guy who got the promotion to the outside office. Which he
promptly covered in tin foil, to block the sunshine - he did all
programming by the light of the monitor.
Unfortunately, I don't have those sorts of mad skills, so I have
to act like normal people.
