　　You might think that good-looking men have every advantage in life.

　　But new study suggests being handsome may not always work in a man' s favour—at least when it comes to his career.

　　The research claims that attractive men are less likely to be given a job in a competitive work- place because they intimidate bosses. "It' s not always an advantage to be pretty," says Marko Pite- sa, an assistant professor at the University of Maryland. "It can backfire if you are perceived as a threat. "

　　Interestingly, in Pitesa' s study, it was male attractiveness in particular, rather than female beauty, that made the most difference. If the interviewer expected to work with the candidate as part of a team, then he preferred goodlooking men. However, if the interviewer saw the candidate as a potential competitor, the interviewer discriminated in favour of unattractive men.

　　"l——he results suggest that interviewers were not blinded by beauty, and instead calculated which candidate would further their own career.

　　"The dominant theoretical perspective in the social sciences for several decades has been that biases and discrimination are caused by irrational prejudice," Pitesa says.

　　"The way we explain it here, pretty men just seem more competent, so it is actually subjec- tively rational to discriminate for or against them. "

　　On a deeper level, she adds, the behaviour remains irrational, since there' s no evidence that a real link exists between looks and comoetence.

　　There might be a common view that good—looking people can take ad- vantages of their superior appearances in the daily life，especially for the preRy men in the job hunting market.However，according to a new research，good appearance is no longer been the silver bullet in a job inter-view.

　　The results showed that although there Was still a preference to cooperate with the attractive man and compete against the unattractive mall，and did not mind to work with them.However，people were not likely to pick a goodlooking man as their potential competitors.

　　In my opinion，we should not depend ourselves on our appearance in terms of job hunting.

　　Good appearance may bring US some benefits，but what is highly valued in the job market is our talents and abilities.

　　It's the graduation season again. According to a latest survey, most Chinese graduates have high salary expectations, and thus prefer working for foreign companies or state-owned enterprises in first-tier cities.

　　The survey was conducted by renren.com, a Chinese social media site similar to Facebook.The results show that among 1,510 respondents, more than 64.7 percent want to work in first-tier cities.

　　In addition, 29.4 percent of the graduates who were born in the 1990s want to work for foreign companies, 25.5 percent for SOEs and 23.5 percent for private companies.

　　One interesting revelation is that although there are less than 100 days before graduation and more than half of the respondents have yet to get a job offer, they are not lowering their salary expectations. Apparently, 41.2 percent aim for 8000-10000 yuan ( $1279- $1599) per month and 31.4 percent for 4000-6000 yuan.

　　According to the data released by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the average monthly salary in Beijing was 5826 yuan( $ 931 ) last year, while the numbers for Shanghai, Tianjin and Chongqing were 5380, 4058 and 3995 yuan respectively.

　　A sample of comments in Weibo: "Are the survey results only jokes for April Fools' Day? Don' t daydream anymore! Please check if you have a good command of English and professional skills that deserve a decent job with a high pay. " On other comments says:" Some of my classmates got offers from foreign banks, international accounting firms and other famous foreign companies. They are told their yearly salary can reach 100,000 yuan ( $15,990). "
