To find work often is not enough a good résumé or professional preparation, but a good look is needed. This is a study by some psychologists, but how acceptable is this study to us?
And how true is that? In fact, if we do a retrospect from Helena and Cleopatra to antiquity, femininity is an undisputed power.
It is no coincidence that history has chosen as the most representative figures of the feminine universe those women who have known how to cure their beauty and turn it into a power instrument (in the wider sense of that word, from the sexual power of the door to the economic, political, moral, and religious.) So beauty, and today it still preserves an absolute power, a power that inevitably takes root even in finding a job.
And here's the question for each of us: If you were chief and two very good professionals in front of you would come, but one would be better than the other, then who would you take to work?
Of course, there is room for much discussion in this case, for practice certainly indicates that the workplace would be won by what would be the highest quality of appearance.
But even though that's true in the end, no one should feel inferior to his appearance or finding a job because professional skills make absolute priority, and if they don't, then qualities such as appearance and many others have no value.
