OK - you are joking right? Disney is the only employer that I ever heard of having a no beards rule and I think that they were forced to drop it a few years ago. Maybe the likes of Intel don't allow beards for engineers working in their clean rooms but I doubt it. Other than that I can't see how it makes any difference. Best case it won't matter. Worst case it will but then do you really want to work for somebody who draws conclusions about a candidate's suitability from the fact that they wear a beard (or not)?!mikeyny said:I am going to be interviewed soon for a grade 1 position with the local council .What is the general opinion on an applicant with a beard ?
Are you serious they have this rule ??ClubMan said:Disney is the only employer that I ever heard of having a no beards rule
Yes I am serious but I don't know what the status of the rule is in any juristiction these days. See here for example:colc1 said:Are you serious they have this rule ??
Controversy did arise over Disney’s strict appearance code, enforced in all its parks. The rules were
spelled out in a video presentation and in a guidebook given to all new cast members. The guidebook
details the requirements for just about everything one could imagine. Men’s hair must be cut above the
collar and ears; no beards or mustaches are allowed; all tattoos must be covered. Women must keep their
hair in one natural color, no frosting or streaking. Use of makeup is limited. False eyelashes, eyeliner,
and eye pencil are completely off limits. Fingernails are not allowed to pass one’s fingertips. Jewelry is
allowed at an absolute minimum: women can wear only one earring in each ear, but the earring must
not go beyond the specified three-quarters of an inch diameter limit. Men and women alike are restricted
to one ring per hand. In addition, women must wear the appropriate undergarments, and only
transparent pantyhose are permitted. Cast members were also informed that they were expected to show
up “fresh and clean” each day. A related training video contained a shower scene, indirectly saying that
a daily bath was required.
