Hi Christa, That is how I would handle the situation as well. How do you find that they react?

Hi Cheryl,
They find very quickly a personal arrangement with this unusual situation.
One of them (international business)explained me the open-minded style of his company: "you know, here are working so many different nationalities...". I've got the job
An other one (medical research)just didn't see a problem in my bareness, but wrote an e-mail to his colleagues "don't be surprised of her, she's ok." Some other perhaps didn't choose me because of alopecia, I'd never know, but I would not want to work with someone who is not able to deal with me as I am....

Christa, I feel the same, I would not want a job in which I was not free to be me. I don't think much of of it. Whether it is in my personal life or work, I can truly accept that not everyone is going be ok with my alopecia and I would just prefer not to be in that environment.

Thanks for the tip, I have job interview tomorrow and was feeling a bit anxious about how to deal with the whole hair issue. On one hand I don't think its relevant, on the other, I don't want the interviewer to be to distracted by it. Now to my second but not hair relate problem, what to wear....
