Dressing for success (My views):Looking through the articles,I personally received a slight shock that several companies do deny jobs for people due to their appearance such as factors including weight and height and even makeup. In my honest opinon,I feel that it's not really that fair and reasonable that companies made their choices based on one's looks and figure.No doubt that looking good on the outside is important as it leaves the first impression on others of oneself and too does add bonus points in one' s job,just as what was stated in one of the articles,as seen in 'Looking good on the job is an intangible asset that can be important, just as sharp technology skills or the ability to be a team player can give certain workers an edge.' However,what does matter is the abilities and skills of one's,isn't it? As compared to a person who have fabulous image and manner,a person with business talents and techniques is much more useful to the company itself,and may even help the company rise to a higher level and expand its business to overseas.As another sentence stated in another article,'Any company hiring in this economy is banking on a new employee making a key contribution immediately and understand fully its immediate needs.', it is comforting to realise abilities and talents are still crucial in the application of jobs so long one looks presentable enough.
