Want the Job? Shave the 'Stache

He probably felt ready for the change. He looks fine either way, to me, but in the after pic he 'radiates' differently.
I would HATE a forced makeover (I'm a woman) so I wouldn't look so great in a after pic, because I would be so unhappy.
You have to really WANT the changes. It's all going on inside of you anyway, to how you then project on the outside.

This is to Ginnny.

I was not going to comment as my statement has nothing to do with the article but I wanted to indicate that Ashleigh was correct regarding requirements for psychologists. Psychologists are NOT bachelor's prepared couselors. They have doctorates and pass their state licensing requirements. Some states license at the master's level. I just did not want incorrect information put out as fact. As for the article, I am happy that he found a job given these economic times.

To Ginny,

Ashleigh is correct. A BA in psychology doesn't make a psychologist. A psychiatrist is an MD, trained in psychiatry, which means he can prescribe meds., treatments, tests, etc. as well as be into talking cures. A psychologist deals with similar patients but cannot prescribe meds, can suggest tests to the psychiatrist, can administer tests, etc. They overlap somewhat.

Ashleigh isn't pulling Pat down, just being realistic. A BA in psychology doesn't go for much without an MA, to which Pat could be working.

This is great! What can you do for me, I am 57 and an engineer, and I have been without work since December 2006, I lost my home, had to go BK before the credit cards woulf execute me. I need a job to support my family and pay my new rent. I tried Real Estate in 2007 but it has not made any thing for me, I ma an engineer not a selesman. Can you help me?

All guys should take heed. Facial hair lowers others impression of you by one class standing and always makes you look older. Clean shaven is sexy. Grubby was out 2 years ago, and goatees are the absolute worst effort ever to try to look cool.

A new makeover never hurts. There are shows on TV that always tell you what to wear and not wear. My daughter,23, has a Psychology degree and landed a job as a Behavorial Analyst working with kids with Autism. She knew her degree required a Master's and that is what she is working toward. You have to keep striving for success, it will not come to you. Knowledge is power. Find a mentor. There are 24 hours in a day and how you utilize your time makes the difference in why the top people who are truly successful, Trump, Buffet, Gates, Oprah, realize that you don't have time to worry about the little picture, but strive for the best. They have the same 24 hours you do. What are you doing with yours?

I am 71 yrs. young, bald, 40 lbs overweight,have ear & nose hair, green eyes, scars on my face , and a Ph.D. from Blunder-bust Univ, with a thesis in underwater basket weaving. Who has a job for me - I'm willing to relocate.

Loosing the grey mustache and the old man glasses helped, but the free publicityhe brings to a start up business with the national exposure on CBS helps to, with a little luck he can geta follow up story

Jack, you look great! Those tips are great advice for anyone seeking a job. Jacki, instead of complaining about how someone else is getting attention instead of you, you should take the advice given to Jack and change it to fit a woman. Maybe you could try a new image, update your resume, and don't take no for an answer. If you are a hard worker and know your field, you will find a job soon. Don't worry. But remember, you are only as good as your competitors, so don't ever settle for second best

It is a funny thing about facial hair. Those who like it or who do not mind it will not hire you just because you have it. Those who dislike it may very well not hire you if you have it. Think about it and then decide what you will do about shaving close. (PS: I have facial hair but I work for myself and think it gives me a certain air of distinction.)
