Employment Cosmetics?

You want to be at the top of your game in a job interview, but the lengths people will go extend well beyond a blow out and a manicure.

Young Koreans – in their teens and 20s – are going to extremes when it comes to landing a big-time corporate job. They are seeking "employment cosmetics" to make headway in a highly-competitive job market. Gone are the days when a simple dark suit, heels, a Gucci briefcase, and a great attitude would be all you need to nail a job offer. It seems that ear, eye, nose and brow procedures are among the most favored surgeries that take beauty to a new level. For example, Korean women are going in for Botox® injections to their vocal chords in order to prevent trembling under pressure – in a job interview for instance. Now there's a clever idea that I bet you wouldn't have thought of on your own! The same tact might work on a first date, now that I think of it.

While you're at it, if sweaty palms are another hang up, Botox® works for that too!
