Q: A new study says that if you want to impress on a job interview you should do this even if you don’t need to. What?

A: Wear glasses

If you want to impress a prospective employer, wear glasses to the job interview — even if you don’t need them to see. People who wear glasses are not only perceived as being smarter and more professional, but also they are more likely to actually land a job, according to a study from the British College of Optometrists. The New York Daily News reports that 33 percent of those surveyed believe that glasses make a person look more professional, while 43 percent said they make people look more intelligent. In addition, 40 percent admitted they would consider wearing glasses to a job interview — even if they didn’t need them to improve their vision.
