About two years ago when I completed my engineering, I started the job search journey. I had a few companies in mind which I would call my dream work place. So I prepared a decent resume, and started uploading on job portals.
One day I got a call from one of the big IT Company. They told my CV was short listed for a technical round as a telephonic interview later that week followed by Face to face HR interview in weekend if I clear the previous round.
I got myself ready, took a ironed formals, polished shoes and took off to the venue with excitement. But i neglect to shave.
I cleared first aptitude test round, followed by 2 technical rounds. After clearing this 3 rounds, Its time for HR round. All my seniors and friends told that technical round is important and HR round is just a formality to know you and salary negotiation etc. So I was son happy that i have cleared all 3 important round.
And It's time come for HR round.
I knock HR cabin door. ask for and entry. she said "come in, and sit down". Suddenly she asked a question “We are looking for a professional candidate, You couldn't even find time to shave your beard for an interview. is it your work ethics??" I was shocked and couldn't answer a single word after that situation as i was not prepared for this as It was my first interview.
At end of interview she said all common HR team lines, "we will update you through email later". I never received any response from them. who knows because small negligence for shave i will lose job.
That incident onward i use Gillette Razors to shave, It makes me complete professional.
