The one thing in the world, of value, is the active soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Economists have known for a long time that attractive people get paid more than unattractive people. A study done by Harvard and Wesleyan Universities confirmed this recently. They found that attractive people are perceived to be more self confident and having better communications skills.
In a study, it was noticed that attractive people leave a more powerful impression during an interview process, especially with the increased use of photo and video resumes.
Surveys have shown that attractiveness is determined by proximity, physical characteristics, abilities and confidence, and common interests.
With employment and attractiveness, being able, confident, and having common interests to your employer make all the difference. They will sense your passion for activities that they are interested in and could reward your for it.
