A recent survey found that most women think good looks are key to successful careers. What do you think?

It’s true for men and women. All things same ... tall handsome men succeed more than those who are less personable. Same applies to women. In fact it’s the same for all human beings on this planet. Why get into a argument on ‘bias’?

Not at all. The first few moments at an interview do emphasise on the physical appearance (turn out) for which it is necessary to be groomed smartly but one is called for an interview based on the qualifications/experience not on looks (unless and until it is for a modelling or airhostess or other fashion industry related job) - it has been proven time and time again that you need to have the ability to perform your job functions to be able to progress in your field.

I think no In all kind of profession more than the look, the qualification and ability counts the most.

Good looks can in no way be considered as key to successful careers. If it is a career, which is related to looks, it may make a difference. Otherwise on intellectual side or other fields looks have the last place. 

I can give my example, I am a Chartered Accountant and working as a Chief Accountant for Al Huzaifa Furniture I never felt that I have achieved anything less because of my looks. I have confidence in myself and in my work that is what has made me successful in my career. 

I personally feel that confidence, hardwork and devotion towards work are required to become successful in life.

Yes, it is indeed correct. 

 

Suma Unakal, Abu Dhabi

I think it is one of reasons. Being good looking is a favourable attribute. But one would have to work hard and be friendly with others.

It’s true.
