That entirely depends on the job and conditions of the beard. In a customer facing position a wildman styled beard might not be appropriate and in my time in kitchens I would refuse to hire anyone whose facial hair wasn’t clean and maintained (beard nets are never optional in food prep).

Something like 15 years ago, I was in grad school and my elder boomer father in law told me “when it’s time to find a job you can shave your beard.” Only this wasn’t a beard, it was just me not having shaved for a week. Is that what he would prioritize if he were hiring someone?! I’ve met few people in my life who are less in touch than that man

Does it take a week for you to have stubble? For me it takes 3 days for mine to be noticeable. I didnt shave daily until my early 30s.
