I raisined.
Self-deprecating humor aside, though, before I raisined I learned that you never apologize or make excuses for inexperience, real or perceived, because that only confirms in their eyes that you are too young. Just like trying to not get stopped when walking into an event with a guest list or whatever, your mindset is that you belong here and it’s the most natural thing in the world for you to be there — and the kicker is that it’s true! Many of us just convince ourselves that it isn’t.
Great advice!
Go with haircuts that make you look older (longer hair worked for me) and look to dress professional vs stylish. There is a happy middle between the two dress looks, but you don’t want to sacrifice professional for stylish. (E.g. pocket squares, tie clips, the no sock look... those make you look too young).
I wear Harry Potter glasses. I receive mad respect.
I may look into that.
Are you young or just look young? I usually just talk about how long I’ve been working or the various experiences / projects I’ve done and that seems to shut them up.
Asians in general look younger than their age and people may assume you’re a rookie out of college. Even being 30-40, people will think asians are in their 20s
I don't make too much effort to make myself look older:
- I adopt a wardrobe similar to my clients'
- Communication patterns
Instead, I lean into the positive qualities associated with being younger than clients/team/my class : being adaptable, eager to learn, quick with technology. That way, I quickly demonstrate value.
Premature balding solved this problem for me for good
I don’t even try anymore. It used to bother me a lot but now I just embrace it
