Appearance? Is it something very important for us? This questions causes many arguments in this world. Well, I must say that different people have different opinions about this. However, I personally think that appearance do affect on how people look at you. Many of us do not realize that appearance made the first impression that people give to us. If you're walking in the streets, shopping malls and public places, who are the people you are looking at? Obviously, the people who are different, special from the others. And these could be due to the strange attitudes that they make or other actions that capture our attention. Very often, people who are good looking are likely to be stared. What about in the employers' perception? As I mentioned before, different people have different point of view. However, there are some FACTS that you need to know and I think you can answer them by yourselves 1. Consider a situation, if a employer who is recruiting see hundreds or even thousands of applicants? Does he has the time to look all of the resumes? Will he select some by looking at the applicants' photos? 2. If there are 2 applicants with almost the same skills but different appearance, and the employer only needs one or can only choose one, which one will he select? The one who is more good looking or the one who is less good looking? In my opinion, I think employees' appearances are important especially if the organization is running in a marketing industry. In marketing, the purpose is to attract the customers to make purchase decision with the company. That is why attractiveness important. So, what do you think? Any thoughts?
