How many of you older people take steps to look younger (dying your hair, skin treatments, etc) when interviewing to help you get jobs? Does it help? What do you do?

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

Currently in finance ops group at a PE shop in Canada. In late stages of interview process w GS in NYC for similar role but at the Associate level. All indications point to an offer being imminent but I have concerns with 1) title (junior VP’s in the group have +1/-1 YOE than me, 2) base feels a bit light given I have 9+ YOE (job description says top end is US$160K)…Nervous for a change as current role is very comfy but nothing ever grows in comfort zones. Thoughts?

Hi everyone,

I appeared in L2 round of Capgemini recently.
Just after the intro first question they asked me " Do you have any offer and amount?" This question was asked in technical round.
I'm sure that guy wasn't a Manager.

I don't think he know how to take an interview.

Even after creating 2 asked program and answering 80% of their questions correctly.
Got rejected.
Didn't expect this kind of L2 round from Capgemini.

As a hiring manager (for interns), would you find it weird if your incoming intern asked specific questions about dress code? He just sent a bunch of info regarding the first day and I’m thinking of replying asking about if a tie is a must or not. Interviews were through teams so haven’t had the chance to see how people dress.
