Just a prologue

In my opinion, I believe to a certain percentage, a job will be offered to you by the way your good looks and speak during the interview.

I went for an interview in a position with no relevant experience and all they said was they are willing to train, but have to meet you first.

It was way too obvious that they just wanted to see how you look like. And if you do not look good, chances you won't be selected.

In some countries, excellent pleasant features play an important part of getting the job. Typically in the North Asian Countries. I believe locally this does happens but it is not too obvious.

This is what precisely I why I have decided to show here in my blog and a few other things (nonsensical... hahaha!). For many years, I have wanted to be in the sales industry and have tried many ways to get into the industry but to no avail. When I was younger and first started in a job, this employer told me this:

"You are not pretty enough to do sales. The 2 new sales manager I hired will sell better because of the way they look."

"You are only good for answering phone enquiries."

I worked in the day and studied in the nights to get myself a sales & marketing diploma and a double degree in e-commerce and marketing. And did not and never had any chance in doing sales or ever putting in good use of whatever I am learning...

WHY ? ! LOOKS SELL !

Moral of the story? You must have looks.

'Nuff said.

P/S: I have poor skin complexion. Oily, acned-scarred face with some pitted scars, super flat nose. And due to the way the Korean Plastic Surgeon lasered on my face, had ruined my face and it had super large pores, railway tracks on my forehead, deep nasolabial folds, severe black eye bags now exists... I can't even compare myself with the skin of an orange peel now...
