[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who is 46 and completely grey - almost white in fact. He's going to be looking for a new job soon and in his case, I think he should cover his greys, or at least do a salt and pepper look. His hair makes him look much much older than he really is and unfortunately, I think that will work against him in his job search. The truth is, a lot of employers do not want to hire new people they think are in or fast approaching their 60s. [/quote]

+1 FIL swore he'd never dye his hair until he lost his job. He did it the right way and went to a stylist who made it look natural. [/quote]

Like your FIL, I never wanted to dye hair but now am wondering whether I need to for job search.   I look much younger than my age, 57, except for my hair.

As job market is pretty tough for over-50 crowd, should I dye hair to help my chances?[/quote]

I would recommend it, pp. my stylist says she has quite a few male clients in their mid-50s and 60s who get their hair colored regularly, from policemen to business executives. Some just want a little gray at the temples, other salt-n-pepper, and a few the whole head. I've seen several of them (my DH included) that look very natural. My DH is the oldest guy in his company at 55. When he runs into friends or former colleagues, they often say, "You look great!"[/quote]
