Wearing my hair in an Afro to a video interview. My hair curls tightly so it will be medium sized. Not willing to wear a wig or straighten my hair. I will have on lipstick earrings nice jacket. But if my Afro is an issue, me being Black is likely to be an issue too. Agree?

Crushed the interview!

I would be fully inclined to agree with you here. If an employer is apprehensive to extend an offer because of your hair, it isn’t a place you’d want to work.

Problem is, which employer will ever mention your hair? Its too obvious, esp during these times.

For better or worse you should ask employer for feedback on your interview.

I will be able to see their reactions.

For what it’s worth, I’ve only interviewed with my natural hair. Mostly twist outs but that’s just how I wear my hair.

I have 6 years of experience . I had an interview with amadocs. It was smooth and I answered most of the questions. At the end the interviewer asked me about salary expectations. I told him 22L and he was kind of surprised and told me that HR will get back to you . Does it mean that they are no longer considering me for the role? It's already been 2 days and I didn't get the call or interview result.

Hello fishes,
Does anyone have any idea on how much time Amdocs take to mail the result of the technical interview?

Hi fishes!

I am seeing too many post about awards like rising star, Kudos, etc. People keep telling there managers recommended them for these awards.
My manager doesn't interact much with us. I consider myself as some one who has worked hard for project and other intiatives. Should I ask my manager to consider me and if yes how should I initiate it.
Part of MC team.

Thank you.

It's getting embarassing and not sure what to do other than medication which I've heard can cause hair loss. I've tried ACV rinses and tea tree oil, but no real results.
