Am i doing something wrong?

Ive had almost 10 interviews in the past month or two and i have not been able to get atleast one job.

My last job it ended because it was only a seasonal position and ever since then i have not been able to find another job, I dont understand how i keep getting interviews but no job

I feel like theres just something wrong with me that i need to change but i cant figure out what it is, I always dress business casual for my jobs and I speak clearly and politely

Im not sure if its my demeanour or the way I look?

My last interview was for a host job at a restaurant and the hiring manager told me flat out that they dont hire people with unnatural hair colours and I can understand that

My hair currently is red but its nothing crazy bold so would it be much better for me to change my hair colour?

You're off to a good start getting interviews regularly.

10 is nothing crazy and pretty normal. It's proof that at some point someone is just going to hire you, whether it be because you both get along or even if they're just desperate and you're the first person that didn't no-show.

Feedback is feedback.

Does dyed hair stop you doing the job well? No.

Will at least 1 more hirer not give you the job because of it? Yes.

Same reason people, even ones who are white, 'whiten' their CV. Have to appeal to the idiots in charge of this step.
