If you’re looking for a job, get some glasses – even if you DON’T need them.

When it comes to finding a job – appearances count.

That old trick of wearing glasses to make you look smart can actually help. New research found people with glasses get hired more than people without. A British survey of employers revealed photos of applicants wearing glasses were perceived as more intelligent and more professional.

Even if you don’t need glasses – consider having a prop pair on hand for that next interview. And if you’ve got a profile picture on a job networking site – put that prop to work for you.
