Map Your Way to Success with a Clean Shave

There has been this ongoing debate on whether keeping beards or having a clean shave is ideal for success. As funny as this may sound, it is often a heated argument among some men. While more and more men are moving towards the new trend of keeping beards, a resonating question being asked is; are employers hiring them? If success is to be judge in the aspect of employer-employee relationship then maybe, just maybe a point could be proven.

Even with the rise in beard wearing men, employers still find men with clean shaves more appealing. This necessarily doesn't mean beards are synonymous with being unkempt but it's obvious these employers are already boxed in with such mentality. For professional jobs, first impression speaks volumes and a man walking into an interview with a full grown, well-trimmed beard may just not fit right in with the interviewer. Just think of a professional job and you'll see that clean shaves are usually the accepted norm.

When the Vikings Blade organized its Manliest Shave of 2015 competition last year, it showed a cross section of individuals worldwide. A closer look shows that professional employees wear more of clean shaves than entrepreneurs. So when next you're going for an interview, you may want to reduce the beard just to a generally accepted level. After you get the job, you alone can decide if a beard would be needed in your workplace.
