Thanks, you nailed what I was thinking. I know I wont be confident with a short hair cut because I have never had short hair and the majority of my gf's liked my hair long. Im going to get it cut shorter and if it doesnt look right then I will get it the shortest with hair still everywhere, but more "clean cut"

I have an interview for a RN position. I used to do my some of my clinicals at that facility when I was a inexperienced student. When I was a student at another facility, some friendly nurses said my hair was long and i'm a rocker/surfer; they weren't trying to be rude, but I knew they were hinting to me that they thought it was too long for nursing school) My hair wasn't even that long if I were out of the hospital setting. When I did get it cut shorter they told me they liked it. I am a new grad and this is my first interview (tough economy) and it is my dream job.. I have a medium shaggy style haircut and I keep questioning myself if I should get it cut short to have a stereotype clean cut. I hate having short hair, I want at least some thin locks of layers all around my head. My hair is like this but it is a little longer on the sides with more layers/locks and more frontal bangs. (sort of like this on the sides but I do not comb my hair to the side) I am Filipino/Mexican and it is common that Asians have hair like this. I have some bad acne scars on my face and this hairstyle takes the appearance away from them compared to a short buzz cut. I always had my hair like this, If I were to walk into a college I would see alot guys with a similar style. I believe this hairstyle is frowned upon with people who work in hospitals. I think I wont be taken seriously to some of the "snobby people" (in the hospital setting). With a short hairstyle I look like a military veteran and I know I can be taken seriously. Either I keep the hair and wonder if it costed me the job, get it cut it shorter and have a "still have hair on the head medium professional look style", or get it cut short.
