Do good looks matter for career success?

Good looks matter in every aspect of life – of course,  a good looking person is easily noticed, and is always the centre of attraction. Attractive face also helps you get success in career as there are many fields in which good looks matter a lot especially the ones in which you have to deal with the public. But the question is: do ‘only’ good looks can get you success? The answer is ‘no’!
Good looks are definitely a plus point and if you have a nice face, it can help you get attention quite easily! On the other hand, if you are an average looking male or female, of course you will have to struggle to get noticed! But this is only one side of the picture and good looks without intelligence, good communication skills and professionalism can get you nothing! So, the bottom line is that if you are talented, hardworking and know the tactics of your job — and in addition to all these qualities, you are charming as well; then you can get success easily. It means that good looks are an added quality to get you success but ‘not the compulsory factor’ to excel in your professional life.
It is often said that tall and handsome boys get promotion easily. Likewise, it is also a very common thought that well-groomed and pleasant looking women get pay raise in lesser time. It is not that tall boys and pretty women get increment in salary, bonus and other perks just because of their good looks — a company is always interested in hard working, sincere, loyal and efficient employees. If someone despite being good looking is not good at work, his /her employer would not at all be interested in him/her because a business can be run successfully with great efforts and if a good looking worker is not good at putting his/her efforts in his/her work, he/she is of no use for any company.
Therefore, if you are an average looking male or female, don’t get disheartened because what can get you success in your career is your talent, hard work and professionalism; not your looks. If you are able to prove yourself as an efficient worker in your field, you will definitely be noticed and can become the centre of attraction of people.
