According to recent studies, when it comes to getting your dream job, looks matter. Statistics show that if you're good-looking, you probably have an advantage over the average-looking person. When a person is considered attractive, they are generally assumed to possess a number of positive social traits and are considered more intelligent. This may or may not be true. Everyone will agree that being good-looking definitely has its benefits, studies show that attractive students receive more attention and higher evaluations from their professors, that good-looking patients receive more personalized care from their doctors and that good-looking criminals receive lighter sentences than less attractive convicts. , but recent debates have asked the question: Do beautiful people get better jobs than an average-looking person? According to Aristotle, “personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.” In my opinion, prettier people get better jobs. I don't necessarily agree with this but I think people like to deal with pretty people. In the service sector in particular, managers are looking for young, beautiful people to represent their company. While searching for information on this topic, I found many debates, experiments and polls with information on the issue. On businessinsider.com, I came across a few studies that both concluded that good-looking people are more likely to get callbacks when applying for jobs. A group of researchers sent out nearly 10,000 CVs. All were identical except for the photo, name, address and phone number. “The average callback rate was 30% for all CVs sent. For attractive women it was 54% and for attractive men it was 47%. Unattractive women were by far the priority on paper......individuals however, many managers have stated that attractive people are more confident and behave better. These managers don't necessarily hire them, they say, because they are good-looking but because they are confident in interviews, which is much more attractive to those in charge of recruiting.
