Should i cut my hair for interviews?

At 23 and only with a community college certificate in business i'm very underqualified and am getting nowhere with job interviews. My mother says i don't have the "corporate look" due to my long curly brown hair and i'm starting to doubt my appearance. Should i get a haircut? What should i do?


I like my hair, it'd make me pass as a girl. Workwise, i just have no idea if its worth keeping

just make sure it is tidy and looks good. How are you handling things AFTER the interview. I own 10 companies and I find most people dont do thank you cards, follow up etc. It is key!
@Drewman wow, you're a very successful man sweetie, i never thought about a thank you card, was told that phoning up might be beneficial, but then told to forget it by my parents and i was thinking about booking an appointment or dropping by to find out where i've gone wrong, never followed through with it, the guy said "if you don't hear back from us by next friday, then know that you probably didn't get the job" (words to that effect)

@Dogemilataka Right after interview - go outside to your car and write the thank you card and quote something said during the interview.....

"________ Thank you very much for taking the time with me to be considered for the opportunity to interview for the position of ________ today. I enjoyed speaking to you and feel I am a good fit. I really appreciated how you said " _________". If you have any other questions feel free to circle back to me.

then call and ask how the search is going and if there is anything else you can do to help them make that decision....in person is best for follow up but a call is good too.

Remember - if you are seen as the person going to extra mile it puts you on the top of the list. "Squeaky wheel gets the grease"
@Drewman i'll do all you said sweetie from here on out, very good advice, thank you
