Appearance and Career
How was the job review?
She did well but she is so unattractive.I don't think we should hire her,certainly not for us sales position.
Do you really think so?That seems so unfair.Why should looks have anything to do with it.
It's just a basic effect of life.Tall,beautiful people have an advantage.
Maybe so but we don't have to support that way you are thinking.
Look we have a business to run.You want me to increase sales right?
Have you ever heard of Jack Ma?
Sure,he is the founder of a huge company in China.I believe he is one of the richest people in the world.
He is not good looking at all but look how successful he is.
Yes?But he is an exception.
He faced all kinds of prejudice but he overcame it.I really admire him.
Perhaps having to overcome obstacles like that made him stronger.Maybe he wouldn't have been so successful if he were good looking.Have you thought of that?
That may have been a factor sure.But what about advertising.Look at all the money companies pay for models and advertising.
You mean they use of beautiful or strange-looking people?
Exactly,it's all around us because it works.People notice it.
As far as i'm concerned it's just a way of fooling people into buying things that they may not need.It's all based on appearence and i don't like it.
I don't disagree with you.But people don't buy something because it's good or bad.They buy something because it makes them feel good.Their decisions are based on their emotion not reason.
Is that why you buy things.
Well it depends on the product but yes I guess I do.What about you?
I try to find out about the product before I buy it.But in some cases I'm no different from other people.I'm attracted to advertisements that get my attention.
That's my point.We want our salespeople to attract attention and make people feel good.
Ok,but I'd like our company to do better.Let's be creative and do something better.
I hear you but I think you were been in naive(幼稚).
If you think that woman was good then let's give her a chance.
Ok,I'll give her a chance and I will expect but compeletely disagree with your decision.
I know and I thank you for your honest opinion.
(She disagrees with his decision to hire the woman.)
