Before answering the question "Is it important to look for a job?", let me ask you the following question:

Do you think English is important for job hunting?

Do you think job hunting and education are important?

Do you think interpersonal communication skills are important for job hunting?

Do you think job hunting and copywriting ability are important?

……

If we regard appearance as a part of ability, we can answer this question.

Is the appearance of a girl's job search important? Important, it is part of your ability, as important as academic qualifications, English, interpersonal communication skills.

As long as we adhere to the premise that "appearance is part of ability", we will be fine.

First of all, not every girl has to be exquisite and beautiful, no makeup is not sorry, and there is no need to feel guilty.

Just like some classmates with new professional abilities and aspires to become professional technicians, it doesn’t matter if they can’t do PPT or give speeches. In the same way, since appearance is only one aspect of ability, then if there are classmates who don't plan to focus on this ability, that's fine. It's like, we can't ask everyone to learn English, maybe they just don't need it in their work, or they're just not interested.

Therefore, my answer "appearance is important" is not the same as the argument of "girls need to be beautiful". Anyone, as long as they obey the basic ethical norms of society, how they like to dress, whether they like plain face or whatever, has nothing to do with others . You don't need to be surprised, and you don't need to isolate and pressure the other person with the exclamation tone of "how can you have a woman like you".

(For example, Feng Baobao, who regards his appearance as dung, the screenshot is from the comic "Under One Person")

Secondly, a girl who cares about this ability should practice diligently, and there is nothing wrong with it.

For example, some students like to learn English or learn to make PPT, so they put a lot of energy into learning. At this time, it can be compared to a girl who wants to enter a foreign company and tries her best to learn English. Or the ability of appearance is directly related to your target position, or the ability of appearance is your personal hobby. So study hard and practice hard.

This is a special reminder because there are several bizarre public opinions that are popular at the same time in our environment: girls who don’t love beauty are accused of not being girls, and girls who love beauty are easily accused of conspiracy or bad intentions (words like vanity, all have the same meaning) . This is troublesome. It is only politically correct to let girls find a balance in the middle like stepping on a tightrope.

This situation can easily burden us.

I was once embarrassed to tell my colleagues that I would go to the beauty salon every week. There are also girls around me, who intentionally or unintentionally declare that they "don't like makeup", "Oh, I just fool around when I wake up in the morning" and "I don't really care."

There are also some girls who internalize this "burden of correctness" into their own character, which means that I have a character, so I don't like beauty so much. Think about it carefully, if you have character, don't you accumulate ability?

I remember there was a saying before, "friends who don't wash their hair", it means that I don't need to wash my hair when I see you, then you are my true friend, which means that you can accept the real me, and I can be in front of you Expose your true self. This, in my opinion, is quite confusing. The premise is, what is the real you.

(This picture, and the girl with the can of beer above, are the same person)

You hunched over your chest every day, and over time, the bones are like this. Then this is the real you.

You worked hard to sign up for a dance class, and after a few months of practice, you are slim and tall, which is the real you.

You don't wash your hair for 10 days, itchy and oily, it's the real you. Then you wash and blow fluffy, it is also the real you.

In the spring, I have 120 pounds of fat for the holidays, and in the summer I have 112 pounds of bitter summer. Both of them are the real me.

• Don't use "self" as a barrier, the self is fluid, not rigid.

In short, if you care about appearance, it is worth investing in it, just like if you spend money to learn English or take online classes, it is good to invest time and money in it.

Third, good appearance is one of the manifestations of comprehensive quality.

Just like a person, if the PPT is done well, the design ability, the rationality of thinking and the expression ability are often good. If a classmate is good looking, it is also a reflection of his overall quality.

First, the student must be self-disciplined. Eating, exercising, working and resting are all self-disciplined, in order to show a good body, skin color and mental state.

Second, the student must have paid for his studies. Trying different shades of lipstick, controlling high heels, and matching the most appropriate and fashionable clothes, these things are not as difficult as learning English and making PPT.

Then also analyze the workplace, some positions have obvious requirements for looking at the face. Combined with my own experience, there are the following fields (mainly based on my experience, and there is no scientific data statistics):

1. Real estate.

2. PR media

3. Internet Product Manager

4. FMCG

5. Teachers, civil servants

6. Hotel jobs

7. Sales category.

Then for other positions, such as administrative, financial, and IT programmers, if you look good, you will also gain some goodwill in the interview.

If you secretly feel sorry for others to get more opportunities by virtue of their looks, while complaining "Hmph, looks are so superficial", you won't be able to lose, and you will limit yourself somewhat.

Finally, the so-called Yiduo does not overwhelm the body, take the initiative to understand this skill.

As I said before, beauty and unbeauty are personal attitudes towards this skill, and do not involve any political correctness of being a girl. Then, because of the accumulation of competition, this skill becomes more and more important. Even if you are not interested, understand its basic requirements. For example, what kind of company to go to, what kind of occasion, at least in terms of image, what social etiquette should be followed.

In the recently popular variety show "The Heartwarming OFFER", the overall appearance of the interns team is very high. They are all top students, they are professional, and they clean up so beautifully every day. It can be seen that appearance, like copywriting ability and expression ability, is an increasingly common skill in the workplace.

When I coach my classmates to apply for a job, before each interview, I will focus on the content of clothing and makeup based on the target position.

Above, regard appearance as one of the workplace abilities, decide whether you have to pay, and how much to pay, don't be swayed by the outside world's remarks about "correctness or not".
