Q. Dear Rabbi, If someone has to attend a job interview which is highly competitive, can he shave during Sefira. Thanks.

A. In case of great need or significant monetary loss, Poiskim permit shaving during Sefira (see: Igrois Moishe O.C. 4,102 – Yaskil Avdi.O.C. 6,5).

Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that, if possible, one should wait to shave until Erev Shabbes.
