"I would cut my hair 9 to a bold condition) if i really wanted this job"



that blond hair

yup! Dan! they are alive hair .... you know maybe they would grow in wavy ones ..who knows

I wouldn't even consider cutting my hair for a job

I have a ponytail because of my band but besides I kinda like too ...that soulds like discrimitation to me..call the proper athorities....

Well, after more than two weeks of jumping through hoops, I finally got a call from the company I wanted to go to work for, offering me the job! Then the recruiter was telling me about everything I needed to bring for orientation: Long sleeve shirt, non-skid footwear, birth certificate, social security card, CDL, logbook, etc... Standard fare. Then she started telling me what NOT to bring: No pets, no alcohol, no drugs, no ponytail...

"WHAT?!!! NO PONYTAIL?!! Uh, Ma'am, I have kinda' long hair and routinely wear it in a ponytail." Long pause...

"How long IS your hair?"

"Ummm... Almost to the middle of my back."

"Can you hold on and let me check something, sir?"

"Yes Ma'am." Another long pause...

"Sir, are you still there?"

"Yes Ma'am, I'm here."

"Sir I'm sorry but your hair can be no longer than collar length. Is that going to pose a problem?"

"Uh, yes Ma'am, I'm afraid it might."

"I'd really like for you to come to work for us."

"Yes Ma'am. And I'd really like to come to work for you... But I really don't want to cut my hair."

"It'll grow back."

"Yes Ma'am. Tell you what - Let me talk things over with my wife and I'll get back to you."

"Ok sir."

So now I've lost two weeks in my job search because somehow I never dreamed that my "ideal company" would have a policy against long hair.

Damn! I was really close!

Is this for a truckers JOB??????????????

Yes, why does that surprise you?

But you have no hair...::confused:

Yeah..it surprises me...however,,years ago there was a song by Donavan called gold watch blues.

See if you can find it,,you'll see what I mean from the lyrics..but hell I never thought his lyrics would come true from 40 years back

she said "It'll grow back."

Have you paid a close attention to this part of her speech?







All they wanted: to hire you with a short hair .... you missed a chance to have a job you like.



And they are really grow those hair, you know
