Do you think good looking women get more promotion?

No, definitely not. From day to day experience, and my observation, majority of those good looking ladies rather spent more time on their make up and plastic surgery, rather on really practice on their brain. So, I think they are really dumb in some point. While others, who show their true ability at all areas of work, they are the true talent among of us all.

There is a variable of factors involved. Whatever, it cannot be denied that beauty does play a part in most cases. Either beauty captivates and clouds the judgement of the person(s) involved in the final decision, or it influences the decision because indirectly it makes it seem that the intelligence and skills possessed by the woman are better than they actually are. On the other hand the experience that I had, and the observations that I made, may not be applicable to the rest of the world.

I don't think good looks get promotions but if a boss has a choice between promoting a beautiful girl or handsome man over someone that is plain they will choose the good looking one rather than the plain one with similar skills.

Well you are right, that ideal standards for managerial posts are those employees who got talent, skills, wit and beauty.. If you're going to look at the order of words I have written beauty is the last. However, reality check there are company's who are much into physical appearance of employee. Well, if surgery or buying cosmetics and beauty products is just a piece of penny for you then it's okay, if not well dwel on the other side.

Hi Scheng I agree with you in this regard, I also think that it ll help you to some extent but after that your intelligence and hard work ll lead you to a higher position, you have good examples in your statement. Actually it also depend on the type of work and working conditions, if you are doing some type of modelling or other stuff like this then definitely these things count over there but if you are working in an office in front of computer then the only thing is ability and hard work. I have seen women who are not beautiful but they had devotion for their work and got good position due to their intelligence and hardworking while beauty can only lead you to a certain point, after that your promotion ll stop. Have a nice day...:)

I think having a good look is just one of the factor which is being considered when you are looking for a job but if you are capable to the job that you are applying then you will be automatically out. The management always put on top those applicant who have the talent and determine to land a job. In this case a good looking person is being set aside. In some cases there are jobs wherein you really have a good personality but you must also have the talent.

I feel like good looks can both help and hurt a woman. It helps because, well, I feel like women tend to get judged more for their looks than men. It's just my opinion, mainly based on what I've seen observing female politicians. At the same time, I feel like attractive women aren't always taken seriously. Like, if she's pretty she cannot also have a brain. So it's a bit of a mix, really.

I do agree with you. I believe though, that good looks can give you the advantage to be easily accepted in a crowd but not exactly promoted.

For me I don't know about that but the beauty of the woman it very much adds for that kind of work.

I think pleasing personality is a plus factor in getting a promotion, however, being beautiful is never enough, in promoting an employee, abilities and intelligence are the main factors to be considered. For example, between a talented, hardworking and very able employee but not that good looking, and a beautiful employee but can not match the qualification of the available position, of course, the qualified not so beautiful will get the spot. But if the two candidates for promotion are an employee that is what we call the complete package (beauty and brains, capable, qualified and able) and a not so good looking but with the same qualities as the complete package, then I am sure that the employee who is beautiful and brainy will get it because aside from her abilities, she also has an aura that will attract possible business partners or investors..but of course it depends on what job that she is doing...

Well, i don't think so, i don't think that good looks of a women can get her a promotion. She can get promotion only with her intelligence and hard work. Better looks only can get personal attentions but it won't be with you all the time but intelligence remains with you forever. And you said right that not all women who are on the post of ceo are not good looking but they are intelligent. Happy mylotting. Regards, harry, :-)

For me it depends the company to apply with, depends to the work or position to apply with. Then some company looking and normally if you see in the news paper looking for good personality - what means is good looking from face to foot... see you around...

She's a bit right actually. Intelligence and skills are important but a lot of people prefer beauty with brains. Beauty is power also. Plus added with brains and skills, works wonder. You have to be presentable because you present the future of the company.

Based on my observation, I've seen several top-level executives on some companies that are real head-turners because they're hot, pretty and glamorous. But I bet, they're witty enough to be chosen and hold the position.
