"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Hey guys, I normally do a military style haircut and I was wondering if that was appropriate for a career interview. Im looking to get an internship at one of the Big 4 Accounting firms and I need as much of an competitive edge as possible.

Whats your take?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

The biggest scrotum poppers I see coming in for interviews (anywhere) are the college-aged kids who have the scraggly hair and the 'chinstrap' of facial hair to go along with dad's suit which doesn't fit. Or, it might be a diamond earring, greasy spike, & untrimmed goatee. The idea behind being clean cut is that it conveys that you aren't a piece of sh1t who's going to have problems waking up before 10 am, who would repel affluent clientele by looking like you just rolled in from the frat house. The specific style isn't important, just look clean. Military cut is OK if you don't have any distracting oddities (major scars, large moles, really bumpy head) on your dome. Just be aware of what others might find distracting.

Talking to other business owners, I'm never ceased to be shocked at some of the people that come in for an interview whenever a job is offered - at any skill level. Unemployment might be high in some areas, but a big part of that is the number of grossly unemployable people out there. Who wants a 300 lb receptionist, or a complete AFC basketcase on their staff?

Look clean, you'll be fine.

Right. Looking clean-cut/clean-shaven is the key.

Military cut is probably fine. Or, a haircut like this (closer to what I have):

But really it's just a question of what looks good on you. But like the other poster said, the big mop of hair with the little goatee and the unshaven cheeks doesn't look good on anyone, so don't do that.

Good luck:)

A "mohawk" never seems to go unnoticed.



Cheers!
