ok, so i went for a 3rd interview today, just for a small family company, only run by father and son, nothing special , pretty average job, but i need a job ok, it seems like i have nailed all 3 of the interviews and im pretty sure i will get a job offer, but.... he said my hair is a bit messy, i have dreadlocks about shoulder length, im 31 and have had dreads since i was 17 , they are pretty short and neat now, basically i think he wants me to cut them off, which i think is absolouty b''****, cause i have proven myself personality wise etc (with some help from valium in the interview to keep the nerves down)
... i said i would cut them if thats whats needed to be done,, but i think this sux, if i done that i would be selling my self short, giving away my self dignity and pride, this is who i am and once people know me they like me, to be judged on a hair style this day and age i think is f''cked . i do want this job and im sure i will get it but should i change who ive been all my life for that, i feel like it would go against everything i beleve in, i allways take people for who they are not what they look like, as much as i want this job i feel like i would be selling myself out if i cut my hair because thats what they think is " right" or "normal" or socially acceptical" i just dont think i would be happy if i had to conform to thier "ways".. and who knows, what if after a month it doesnt work out?? i know hair isnt anything but thats been me for so long, and it's been hard to be happy with myself but i am sorta proud of who i am.. what do u's think (sorry for spelling)
