I think shaving my facial hair helped me get a job.
Was your beard preventing you from being hired?
Yea, my beard must have been bothering people.
Taking care of your appearance is a good idea before a job interview. This will show that you are serious about the job. Also, people want to hire those who are neat and tidy often times.
I should have shaved a long time ago.
You're doing the right thing by keeping yourself presentable. It's gonna help you in a long run.
