The institute for the Study of Labor published the following information: Attractive candidates get called back 36 percent more often that those who are not so good-looking. But still statistics can be blind and I don't think employee would hire you just for your face wothout your high skills and knowledge. olgakushnir

Of course. Good looking people charm interviewers, get hired faster, are more likely to make more sales and get more raises. But later when you show how much skill level have you. The employer will decide that you should hire or not.

:'(Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What we see is not necessarily the only kind of beauty there is, I think. Attachments:

I am convinced that being beautiful helps a lot not only in getting a job but also in many other situations. I believe that first impression is very important, that's why if you look for some advice on how to pa_s_s the job interview you can find a lot of information about how to behave in first several minutes of the interview. Since your appearance contributes a lot to the first impression, it can help a lot in getting a job. Russians have proverb that sounds like "Meet a person by the way he looks and cay goodbye by the way he thinks". I think there is something similar in English like "a good dress is a card of invitation, a good mind is a letter of recommendation" or "fine dress helps to impress" or "first impressions are half the battle". Maybe "Handsome is as handsome does" means the same, I'm not sure. There is one more but with a different meaning: "never judge a book by its cover". I don't agree with the last one, because I think that "the cover" means a lot and can give us a lot of information, if we are talking about a human. I'll explain why in another comment.

There is a branch of psychological studies that tries to a_s_s_e_s_s a person's character or personality from his outer appearance, especially the face. It is called physiognomy. The majority of psychologists believe that what people experience in their inner space somehow reflects on their appearance. I totally agree with that. Moreover, intuition can help us significantly in understanding other's personality. We have a lot of experience in our everyday lives in a_s_s_e_ssing personalities from other's appearance. That is why we can consider ourselves experts in this field of knowledge. We shouldn't ignore our first impression. And we should work hard to express what we want by our appearance.
