First of all sorry to dig up such an old thread, but in accordance with the posting guide lines, I thought it may be better than starting a new one.

I'm hoping to find work as an ALT, once I have my BA. However, I am a male with long hair (more than half a foot past my shoulder). If it came to it, I would cut my hair to get work in Japan, but I'd rather not if possible.

What I would like to know is, are there any long-haired males here, who've managed to find teaching work by just keeping their hair neat and in a pony tail?

If so was it hard or did you find it relatively easy to get a job?
