This site is not responsible for any misunderstanding.Some days it’s tempting to just roll out of bed and go to work. But the time you spend getting ready is more important than you think. And if you’re going to an INTERVIEW, obviously it’s even more crucial to look good.
–Here are four scientifically proven reasons you should look your best.
#1.) You Seem More Capable. A study by two economists called “Why Beauty Matters” showed that just looking good makes people think you can handle more responsibility.
–Obviously, looks have nothing to do with how good you are at your job. But according to the study, the better someone looks, the more we tend to overestimate how productive they are.
–So in other words, wearing dress clothes makes you look more responsible . . . which you’ve probably figured out on your own by now.
#2.) You’re More Likely to Get a Second Interview. In one survey, more than 150 employers said the number one reason they reject someone after a first interview is poor personal appearance.
#3.) You’ll Get a Higher Starting Salary. Researchers sent identical resumes to more than 1,000 companies, and also asked what the starting salary would be.
–Half of the resumes included a picture of the fake applicant BEFORE they had a makeover, and the other half had the ‘after’ shot. And the one’s with the ‘after’ shots got up to 20% higher salary offers.
#4.) It Raises Your Self-Confidence. The average person can see their own reflection up to 50 times a day. So you’re not just dressing up for OTHER people. You’re dressing up for YOURSELF.
–Obviously, if you look in the mirror and like what you see, it boosts your self esteem. And if you DON’T, it won’t.
