Why Your Job Candidates Are Wearing Fake Glasses
Do more of your job candidates show up for interviews wearing eyeglasses these days? It's not necessarily a sign that they watched too much television or ate insufficient carrots as kids. It might mean they're trying to game your system.
This bit of news comes from the always somewhat suspect Mail Online, which claims that a recent study shows job hunters are more likely to be hired if they wear glasses. Unfortunately, the newspaper doesn't site its source, but it does quote from the study:
- A third of adults think people who wear glasses look more intelligent
- 40 percent of people with 20-20 vision say they'd consider wearing clear lenses if it would help them get a job.
