Would it be difficult to get a job in Dublin as a long haired man?

Your revolution is over, Mr. Lebowski. Condolences. The bums lost. My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?

Depends on what job.

Should be OK as a member of a rock band. It takes ages to grow it for the interview.

Might be OK as a barista too if you don't mind tying it in a ponytail.

Shouldn't be, well groomed long haired men are in short supply and are highly sought-after in certain quarters.

“Pot smoking waster”, the interviewers will chortle, despite your presumed immense IQ. Interviews are awful.

Three years using Propecia obviously worked.

Should be fine as long as you don't go to work in platform shoes and loon pants.

It’s hard to take a man with shoulder length hair, or a big curly “afro”, seriously.

You would do quite well as a gigolo. Also you could we well suited to girly-man tasks and the like.

How long does ones hair have to be to work as a long haired man?
Does one even need to be a man?

Have to be honest, when I googled 'Long Haired Man', they all do tend to look like wasters, or dole recipients, unfortunately.

Unless you look like The Undertaker or Triple H, I probably wouldn't bother.

It is very difficult.
The entry level requirements to get into the Dublin, long haired man profession have just gone up and up and up.
You really need to know someone.

Talking to someone today, and they got a job working from home for eBay. They had to do 6 interviews. 6!!! I would have given up after the second.

I also think that interviews should be done like The Voice, that they only see you when they accept you as an employee. Would be interesting, but I'd also imagine it would end up with better workers in general.

The first person to come back when I Google long haired man is Jason Momoa. So yeah, unless you're Jason Momoa, cut it.

Becoming a transexual sex worker might be worth looking into.

As with so many things in life: being attractive helps.

Huh!
Money is the key to end all your woes
Your ups and your downs, your highs and your lows
Won't you tell me last time that love long hair bought you clothes?
It's like that, and that's the way it is

I don’t advise a haircut, man. All hairdressers are in the employment of the government. Hairs are your aerials. They pick up signals from the cosmos, and transmit them directly into the brain. This is the reason bald-headed men are uptight.

Yes but be prepared for questions like...

Are you from Liverpool?

Will you do anything I ask?
