Never mind a crisp shirt or a firm handshake. If you want to impress a potential employer, put on a pair of spectacles.

除了整洁得体的衣着，有力和稳健的握手，想要完成一次完美的面试，也许，你还需要戴上一副眼镜。

Job hunters are more likely to be hired if they wear glasses to their interview, according to a study.

一份调查研究显示，佩戴眼镜参加面试被雇佣的几率更高。

A third of adults think spectacle-wearers look more professional, while 43 per cent think they appear more intelligent.

三分之一的受访者表示，戴眼镜会使人看起来更具专业资质，而有43%的人则表示，戴眼镜的人看起来更加聪明。

Another six per cent would put on glasses to feel fashionable, and nine per cent think spectacles make the wearer look more attractive, the study by the College of Optometrists found.

研究人员还发现，6%的人认为戴眼镜会让人看起来很时髦，9%的人则认为眼镜能使人看起来更具吸引力。

Psychology professor Cary Cooper, from Lancaster University, said: ‘It is not surprising that businesses want to employ intelligent staff but the idea that intelligent people wear glasses is an old stereotype that has not gone away.

卡里兰开斯特大学心理学教授Cary Cooper表示，“这并不奇怪，雇主们都希望雇用具有聪明才智的职员，俗话也说聪明人都带眼镜。”

‘In fact, glasses are a poor indication of intelligence because you can have bad eyesight for a number of reasons and then choose to wear contact lenses.

“但事实上，眼镜或也可能成为流露‘不聪明’迹象的标志，你纵有各种理由患上近视，但为何偏偏不选择一副隐形眼镜。”

‘It is possible that some people have more self-confidence and change their behaviour when they put on glasses, which could in itself improve their chances at interview.’

“戴眼镜或许能使人们感觉更自信，并且改变一些行为习惯，这有可能增加他们的求职成功率。”
