I'm almost 38 and don't do anything to look younger for interviews. I work out, look after myself and use good skincare so that helps but I find the best thing to help you "appear younger" is your attitude and enthusiasm

I’m blessed with looking younger than I am. Because of that I always wanted full grey hair to look more mature. I got greys but not a full head yet. Someday. So I guess I’m saying I don’t do anything

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter.

Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
