Beard for job interview?

I trim mine for an interview, if it was the sort of job that wouldn't take you on for having a beard I wouldn't last long anyway..
 
I shave anyways, but if I didn't and I was going for an interview I would shave, because not many people have a problem with clean shaven people, but more people with have a problem with a beardy weirdy.

exactly, some folks may think it's odd and unfair but it's a fact so I wouldn't take the risk

TBH, if it's the kinda company who's going to care, you've pretty much dodged a bullet if they reject you because of it.

Probably but initially it's just the interviewer you've got to impress, you may never work with them again so once you're past the interview stage it might not matter in the least whether you have a beard.
 
Go to the interview clean shaven, first week of the job do the jesus look, with some hippy shades, and maybe a rainbow coloured die shirt and insist everyone takes acid as a "team bonding exercise"
 
Lol! guys, its not that kind of beard, it's a, dare I say trendy modern, uniform beard...
...A sharp beard, if there is such a thing...

In fact to call it a beard would probably be incorrect, it's beyond stubble, but it's not a UNIX bush either :)

Shave that ****er off, err on the side of caution then grow it again, 2 days later your sorted.
 
For an office job interview shave it off. You can always regrow it if you get the job and once you have found out if everyone else has beards, piercings etc

It isn't the smart/scruffiness of it really though, some people just don't like beards, if one of those people is one of the interview panel then you're starting off on the wrong foot. It can look perfectly presentable, even smart, yet people who don't like beards will still view you dimly because of it.

That makes a beard no less worse than anything else, then, really.

What if the interviewer doesn't like fat people? What if he hates crocodile leather and you happen to have worn "those" shoes?

What if they seriously dislike dark blue, and hey!, guess what colour your tie is?

True but why add one more thing that they may not like into the mix?
