So it looks like you guys are hard and fast on this no beard thing. @THS is there any circumstances under which you'd say it's okay to keep it or just play it safe no matter what?
If it really bothers you, just grab a sharpie and draw one on!I wish this was a dilemma that I could have. Instead I get to be reminded by my dad that I will never grow a beard and stache like his.

Some people can pull off the professional beard- I work with dozens if doctors that do. But these are short, nearly trimmed beards, the sort more befitting a Men's Wearhouse commercial than a coffee shop. Just ask yourself- is my beard boring? If the answer is no, shave it off.Professionalism trumps hipster every time in an interview for a professional education.
This discussion turned out to be quite apropos, I just got an email invite to interview at my #1! Per all of your advice I will trim my hair and beard, and then if it still doesn't look professional I will shave and cut the hair before the interview. Thanks!
I think people do not realize this, but not everybody has a sloppy beard. People can have clean beards and look even better than if they were shaved. Some people look better with a good looking beard. Luckily, I am a blessed human being who can have both .
Food for thought, this man has a good beard and he looks professional. It just how you maintain it, if you have a sloppy beard obviously adcoms will think your a lazy person, but a good beard can make you seem mature and even better looking for some people.

I just cut my shoulder-length hair that I've been growing for the better part of 2 years earlier this summer so I could prep for interviews. It stings I know but its better to err on the side of cautionThis would be ideal but I don't think I could pull off the hair. I'm just indulging people at this point because I've made the decision to go in with the short cut and clean face.
can you show me what you look like now?Hey Guys,
Sorry I know this has been asked before, but I wanted to get an updated view on people's opinions since the other threads are kind of outdated. I haven't shaved or cut my hair since May. I've always cut my hair to a 2 or 3, and never went more than a week without shaving. I wanted to see what I'd look like with a beard, but when it started growing I kept growing my hair to match it. My question is, should I go with a short cut and keep some stubble, i.e. Jason Statham , keep both beard and hair, i.e. I would look like a shaggier, less dashing version of Matthew McConaughy with a slightly longer beard, or play it conservatively and shave the beard altogether. If I chicken out for the sake of professionalism and shave, should I keep my hair longer as is or cut it to my traditional 2 or 3. I welcome all thoughts, comments, suggestions, and opinions!
Thought you all would enjoy a fun, less stressful thread!

LoL I know what you mean, some people just look eh with a beard, but if you look well groomed and professional with a beard, like that gentlemen in the picture, it is a compliment to your face with respect to the beard.This dude is also ridiculously good-looking. I wouldn't recommend a beard... A lot of people think they look good with one and just don't. Not worth the risk.
Look at this gentlemen. This guy is a force not to be reckoned with, because of his beard. Plus he looks like professional
