Hi zenexer - I'm youngish, fit, and present well. Unfortunately, my hair is greying AND thinning. For years, interviewers have heard my responses while viewing my bare crown. (Barbers told me for many years, "You'll never be bald," as they used thinning shears).

Last week a hiring manager said, before introductions, before shaking hands, "This job is for 22 year olds just out of college." He shut the door, literally, seconds after.

Consider viewing your HR contacts on LinkedIn then view the "also viewed" profiles. Notice any similarities? These decision makers determine whom you will see when you interview. Thank you for wanting to see different when you visit a company.
