Well, I'm heading over for a job interview, my dreads are in the early stages so you can about imagine what they look like. Do you think I'll get hired? It's a desk job working for a telemarketing organization. I'll let you know what happens when I get home.

Going for a job interview today.
If you are working over a phone, most companies don't care as long as you are the right candidate. You just need to be qualified and professional, your hair should not be an issue for this type of job.
Thank you Paula 
and it turns out the interview went great! I'll know for sure whether I'm hired or not as soon as tomorrow, but no later than Friday. I asked her right out and out about the dreads and she said they're just fine as long as they're neat looking so that's awesome news. I do unfortunately have to take out my facial piercings, but it's a small price to pay for a job right? haha. It's kinda weird it turns out they do have a dress code there, no blue jeans or t-shirts or tanktops. They call it "Business Casual Attire." haha go figure!

I have a desk job (on some days) and well I work for a Texas public college, and My dreads are 8 years old. So it depends on the type of environment and job.My guess is that if it was more of a strict-corporate type of job, the dreadlocks would be considered "unprofessional" looking depending on the length I guess.Sucks majorly!!Good luck !!
