A Protect & Gamble survey shows that wearing the right make-up can help women move up the career faster. Another survey by Aziz Corporation in Britain of 100 company bosses showed that one in four employers were more likely to give a job to a woman who wore make-up than one who did not. A third of those surveyed felt that a woman without make-up looked like she couldn't be bothered to make an effort. Again, Aziz Corporation, which is a communication and leadership consultancy, is in the business of image management and its consultant seem to be in the job of dishing out advice such as the etiquette of wearing heels to businesswomen to make an impact in boardrooms. Kaya Skincare, along with Nielsen had some time ago done a survey of the Indian men in the 18-50 age group, which showed that they were quite aware of the importance of personal grooming for workplace success. Eight out of 10 men surveyed said that being well-groomed had a positive effect on their careers.
(i) Do you think it is weird yardstick on career progress for women, sometimes for men do?
(ii) Does this survey show that things are easy for women once if they were the right shade of lipstick?
Do you think it is true in the case of men's career too?
