After the last toast has
been done in your honour as a graduate, the reality of finding work will set in
before long. Part of the adventure includes dressing well, preparing your
qualifications, and ensuring a wonderful smile to help recruitment personnel
consider you.
A stained, crooked,
widely-spaced smile gives the impression that you’re not putting your best foot
forward for your health or your career. Particularly if you’re eyeing a
high–paying job that involves lots of social interaction, bad teeth could even
cost you your job.
Hiring managers are likely
to prefer applicants with better smiles. Some studies found that people with a
nice set of teeth are 45% more likely to land a job than those with crooked
teeth. Why is this so? Simple. Bad teeth are often equated to an unhealthy
lifestyle and if you’re negligent about your wellbeing, how will you be able to
take care of your job?
Better teeth don’t just
mean a brighter smile; they project the image that you are self-assured,
confident, and highly adaptable to the people around you. Managers favour it
because it’s one factor that increases sales and opens business opportunities. After
all, if you were in their position, wouldn’t you send your tidiest employee to
face your customers or partners?
