Is high face value an advantage in the workplace?
Yan value, a word born in the Internet age. Is a measure of a person's beauty and ugliness. With the advent of the Internet era, the importance of Yan value has gradually become prominent. I am ugly, what should I do? During the interview, I felt that I would be brushed off at any time because of my low face value ... I felt unwelcome in the workplace, because my low face value ... anxiety about my face value gave birth to the beauty and plastic surgery industry. More and more people hope to improve their face value through plastic surgery, so as to gain greater competitiveness in the workplace. Is face value really important to a person's career development? Is high face value your advantage in the workplace?

1, high face value will really give you extra points, but it also depends on your ability.

Everyone has a love of beauty. It is undeniable that people with high face value among peers are often more popular with the opposite sex, and as far as school age is concerned, students with handsome looks are often more popular with boys and girls. We can often see news such as "the most handsome courier", "the most handsome traffic policeman" and "a school campus", which shows that people are paying more and more attention to Yan value.

Appearance is only a standard, there is no absolute important or unimportant, depending on the position. The understanding of this sentence is that if appearance has an impact on the performance of this position, it is very important; If the impact is small, it is not important. Just as communication skills are important for a position that needs to communicate with people frequently, they are not so important for those positions that only need to deal with machines. The eternal standard of enterprise employment is to meet the post requirements. When a company decides to recruit a person, it must hope that after recruiting this person, it can complete the task of this position. This is the first element. Everything else is secondary.

2. Different genders have different effects on career.

Researchers from University College London and the University of Maryland in the United States conducted four experiments and found that attractive men are more difficult to get promoted in the workplace because colleagues are reluctant to promote men who are more handsome than themselves. The study found that high-value men look very competitive, so they are often easily seen as a threat by their bosses. But at the same time, they are more likely to be included in a team and accept the command of the leader as secondary figures. Therefore, it is less likely that sales, investment and other jobs that show personal talents will be assigned to high-value men. However, the majority of women do not have to worry. The study also found that beautiful women don't get this kind of treatment, and their bosses don't associate appearance with work ability.

In China, there was an article called "Beauty Economics in China Labor Market": Does figure matter? The paper became popular on the Internet. The paper says: every time a woman's weight increases 1 kg, her wage income will decrease by 0.4%; For every increase in height 1 cm, women's wages will increase by 2.2%. The survey shows that body shape has little effect on men's employment and income, but it has a significant effect on women. Middle-income women are the most affected. Fat women in low-income and high-income groups have little influence on their wages, but the wages of fat women in middle-income groups will drop by about 10%. The difference between men and women caused by the influence of Yan value on career is caused by the difference of social role and division of labor. Physiologically, men are strong, and being strong is a characteristic of men; Moreover, a woman is gentle, and her face value is a woman's characteristic. From this perspective, it also makes others pay less attention to men's appearance, and in this respect, the requirements for women are higher.
