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

不用担心衬衫是否挺括，或者握手是否有力了，如果你想给未来的老板留下好印象，就戴一副眼镜吧。

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

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

And 40 per cent of those with 20-20 vision would consider wearing clear lenses if it would improve their chances of getting a job.

Another six per cent would put on glasses to feel fashionable, and nine per cent think spectacles（眼镜） make the wearer look more attractive, the study by the College of Optometrists¹ found.

Psychology² 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 stereotype³（陈词滥调，老套） that has not gone away.

‘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.

‘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.’
