    Appearance and Job Prospects in a Tough Employment Market

    By admin | March 13, 2009

    A recent article in one of the major magazines, Marie Claire, was entitled “A Career Lift”.  The author did a good job of making a case for why appearance is important and perhaps even more important in tough economic times.

    They cited a survey by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in which 78% of respondents indicated that “appearance is at least somewhat important in getting ahead at work”.

    It has been appreciated that there is a direct relationship between one’s appearance and success in the world.  It is accepted by psychologists that better looking people – fairly or unfairly – seem to fare better in life.

    This is not to say that everyone needs to have a full face and neck lift, eyelid surgery or other procedures.  My point is that often one’s appearance can be improved by chemical skin peeling to remove wrinkles or Restylane or Juvéderm injections to plump up some deep lines, or Botox to wash away forehead and eyebrow creases.

    Combine some judicious skin care with these doctor-administered procedures with a bit of exercise, sound nutrition and weight stability and you have a good formula for looking your best.
