Before you guys start posting about how good looks are a boom etc...do keep in mind that I'm talking specifically about Good Looks when it comes to work front, job interviews, meetings etc.

1. Do good looking people fair better at interviews and during promotions?

2. Or are good looking people(especially women) not taken too seriously?

1. I think that the first impression matters and my answer is yes when it comes to beginning of interview. But when one has applied for the right job, mostly people do get over the fact that you are attractive and then during the course of the interview, they begin to see your working skills and other relevant qualities.

2. Good looking women are taken absolutely seriously when they bother to show that they are more than dolls. In fact, eventually, people you like to work for, better be more impressed by your intellect that your looks. yes, they are welcome to complement every once in a while when you dress up nicely for a meeting or so. But pretty girl has to use her brain my dear! Nothing impresses an ethical work group more than those sulci and gyri that will fetch them success in the long run 😆😆

^^ i agree ...look does matter big time. I'm not saying it's right, it's just the way it is in our society....I'd have to say that good-looking people get preferential treatment

^ I agree. Good-looking people do get noticed first. Infact, interviewers even remember their faces after interviewing good 50 odd people! But good-looks may even get you a job, but what'll help you retain teh job and get perks is your work quality. Work matters most at the end!

Good-looking people always have to prove that they're not just a pretty face! But for that matter, even an avg. or not so good-looking person have to prove themselves. So I'm divided about the 2nd question.

pleasure to eyes comes first so good looking women are given priority ....until they open their mouth and confirm they are equally good in their brains...only looks minus brains will not make any impact... 😊
