CAKEWALK FOR JOBSEEKERS?

Here are some interesting findings from a Nielsen India Study conducted in Dec.2010 (Times of India/Jan 12, 2011):

 Of the 626 Indian male executives surveyed,

·        85 % believe clean-shaven men get to attend meetings and   travel out of the office

·        86 % felt, when it comes to promotion, clean-shaven men have upper hand

·        73 % said women like to accompany clean-shaven men to party

  

Of the 414 women bosses surveyed,

·        90 % preferred clean-shaven men

·        79 % felt clean-shaven men have successful careers

·        66 % believe getting a job is a cakewalk for clean-shaven men

·        66 % prefer taking a clean-shaven man to meet her parents

At least in India, bearded men seem to face a bleak future!

Blessed are the clean-shaven for they shall inherit the earth!
