Improve Physical Appearance and get a Better Job

How physical appearance affect your personality has been suggested by Nathan C Popkins, explaining importance of appearance in shaping the opinion of both others, as well as yourself: about you.


Indicating a strong link between physical appearance and personality, he proposes "Physical appearance is a major factor in the development of personality, because people form opinions by what they see in a person physically, and respond to that person accordingly. In turn, people tend to fulfill the expectations they believe others have for them.
Further, a recent scientific study conducted by researchers strongly suggest that physical appearance may give clue to personality.
In an article published in the current issue of "Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin" authors Laura P. Naumann, University of California, Berkeley, Simine Vazire, Washington University in St. Louis, Peter J. Rentfrow, University of Cambridge, Samuel D. Gosling, University of Texas at Austin write,
"As we predicted, physical appearance serves as a channel through which personality is manifested.By using full-body photographs and examining a broad range of traits, we identified domains of accuracy that have been overlooked, leading to the conclusion that physical appearance may play a more important role in personality judgment than previously thought.”
Nathan's hypothesis and the findings of above research perhaps explains, why and how your 'Physical Appearance' affect the 'first impression' formed during an interview -- influencing interviewers opinion about your personality.

And this first impression made by the interviewers is a critical factor in landing you a good job. So improve your physical appearance, if you are seriously looking for a change of job.
