Abstract

Physical appearance is a criterion for determining a person's level of appearance. Being attractive is a social concern that affects everyone's life, including mate choice, social interaction, confidence, and happiness, etc. However, a growing number of data surveys point out that physical appearance has a significant impact on job competition. This research mainly focuses on how much one's attractiveness affects employment and whether it would influence other factors, such as interpersonal communication and professional skills. The finding reveals that appearance plays an indispensable role in job competitiveness and sometimes determines whether or not an applicant is hired. In conclusion, appearance has become an inevitable competitive advantage.
