I’ve been trying to grow a beard for a while now and I’m starting to get self conscious on zoom calls. I’ve been clean shaven my whole career, but now feel from an optics perspective that I’m not “well kept”.. anyone ever go through something similar? Are these things you notice on calls?

I notice. Men get 3x as attractive once they grow beard. Congrats on the right decision

Beards are basically the male equivalent of boob jobs

It will only look scraggly for a couple of weeks. Grow it and welcome to the club

Just keep it trimmed and clean looking, and you'll be fine. I've been growing my hair and beard out due to COVID, and nobody cares. I'll even get the occasional compliment

I’ve seen a bunch of PPMDs growing from a 3d-beard to a full grizzlies bear during covid so I would not worry too much about how people perceive you.

Hi Everyone! Thank you all for joining! Please message ideas if we have a second call. I know Zoom can be hard.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
