    Hi all
    So I have an interview on the 15th of this month. For the interview I have to create a powerpoint on my artisan fish cake product that I created for one of my practical modules in college. The fish cake product in corporates boar fish which is a renewable resource and is currently been exported by this particular company to the Chinese food industry.

    Anyway I have my hair cut into a fade with the top dyed blonde. I also have my ear pierced and I'm wondering if this may create a bad first impression. I'm also male so it's a bit unusual for men to peirce their ear and dye their hair.

    My other concern is that I'm not sure what questions I could ask them to display that I'm extremely interested in this opportunity.

    Do the presentation with an artistic slant. It will fit in with your personality.

    I would take the earring out for the interview. Dress smartly and don't worry about the hair.
    Good luck with your presentation.

    That's what I was thinking. I was considering standing in a side pose, then when my hair covers my eyes kinda brush it to the side with my hand. I was also planning on viewing the interview panel through a square I created with my thumbs and index fingers.

    Thanks very much for the serious answer. Cheers I'll be nervous but I'll be fine.

    I'd be rethinking your approach.

    I wasn't going to do that!

    JCC's post was a pi$$take. So I was just replying to a ridiculous post, with a ridiculous reply. :)

    Not great, I was very nervous. I had package samples of the product with me which I showed and the interview liked it. But I'm sure I'll get an answer in the next day or two.
