Read from The Star paper today about Creating Personal
Presence by Dianna Booher. It's really interesting. I even downloaded her free
1st chapter. What she said is so true, here is the excerpt:
Take Notice of the Tangibles
You don’t have to be good-looking, but that perception
helps. What’s good-looking? Forget movie-star looks. Here’s what most cultures
consider attractive: a symmetrical face, a proportionately sized body, clear
skin, healthy hair, and straight teeth.
Physical attractiveness results in a fatter paycheck.
Particularly, taller people earn more money than shorter people. For both men
and women, a 1-inch increase brings a 1.4–2.9 percent higher paycheck. For men,
a 4-inch differential in height amounts to a 9.2 percent increase in
earnings. According to Arianne Cohen, in The Tall Book, tall people earn
$789 more per inch per year.
