Okay, ladies.. I had a phone interview last week (some of you may remember me mentioning this) and today I go for the in person interview... I"m debating on my look... do I wear my glasses or not?  

I've been told by a previous boss  that in this field that it may sometimes hinder me that I am so young (to be fair, this was a few years ago in my early twenties) but it gave me a complex..... Perhaps my glasses make me more mature looking?

I can provide pictures if it helps make your decision, but if you have an initial opinion that always works!

    I would say wear what's most comfortable for you.

    I wouldn't wear glasses just for the look of them.  Now if you're more comfortable in glasses (I am), then I would wear them. 

    I really don't think wearing glasses is a "thing" that makes you look older, wiser, etc. anymore.  I'm convinced most people I know wear corrective lenses of some sort :)

    I had an interview on Monday, wore my glasses, and got the job.  But I also didn't even have two contacts to wear to my wedding (I had to wear one because I STILL haven't found my stash of contacts...I was able to see just fine, but it was one of those "really?!" moments of packing)

    I'm sure it wouldn't make or break it for you.

    Do you wear your glasses every day? I don't wear my glasses all of the time; I don't think I would wear them to an interview because it wouldn't feel as natural to me.

    I really only wear my glasses around the house, but I went about 6 months without contacts just because I was too lazy to go back to the eye doctor so I was wearing my glasses constantly, so it doesn't feel unnatural to me... I'm just going to wear them, they're a cute accessory today.

    Haha, yeah I'm wearing mine today because I am tired and tackling emails.

    Good luck at your interview!

    Glasses are more lab-friendly, but I have to wear vision correcting lenses because I'm legally blind. For god's sake, if you ever find me bouncing off walls like a damn pinball, take me home because I'm missing my lenses and can't see.

    Which I guess means wear whatever lenses make it easier for you to see.

    I do that way too often. My eyes are co-dominant, so whichever eye has the contact becomes dominant, and I can see just fine. But, ya know, not something I like doing regularly.

    @phira yep, if I have my right contact in, I can see fine.  If I only have my left contact in, I can't see at all.  Thankfully I had a right contact in for my wedding, since ya know...I kinda wanted to be able to see it :)  I would have worn my glasses if necessary, but they're a pain in pictures!

    Wear what you are most comfortable in! 

    I hated glasses, my eyelashes hit the lens (with where I liked them placed on my nose) and it was annoying!!  My contacts started irritating my eyes an hour after putting them in.  I had the magical surgery that made glasses and contacts go away (now I can see the clock when I wake up in the middle of the night, it's the best <especially when the clock says I don't have to be up for a long long time>!).
