We've always heard that attractive people get better jobs and make more money, right? Well, it's time to even things up and get back at all the hot people! LOL
According to Phys.org, a new study at the University of Buffalo found there's a trick that can help people who aren't as fortunate in the looks department. All you have to do is simply stand like Superman!
Researchers held mock job interviews and evaluated people on how effective their job pitches were.
In the first round, managers viewed the good-looking people as more hirable. Partly because they were more attractive, but also because they were more confident.
For the second phase, researchers had the less-attractive group do their pitch in a "power stance," with their feet shoulder-width apart, hands on hips, chest out, and chin up. You know, the way Superman poses, and that basically evened the playing field.
Luckily, standing like an overly confident weirdo isn't the only thing that works. No matter how attractive you are, they say anything that makes you feel more powerful helps. So, things like giving yourself a pep talk or visualizing success also work. Just don't wear a cape to the interview and stand like Superman.
