大多數(shù)女性會(huì)煩惱如何確保自己的簡(jiǎn)歷達(dá)到標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。而一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，獲得面試機(jī)會(huì)的秘訣可能很簡(jiǎn)單，只要穿上低胸裝就好。

New research suggests that female applicants who included a photo of themselves in revealing clothing were five times more likely to secure an interview.
最新研究表明，女性求職者如果在簡(jiǎn)歷中附上一張穿著暴露服裝的照片，獲得面試的幾率會(huì)高出五倍。

Out of the 200 roles that were applied for, the submissions which were accompanied by a low-cut dress received 62 more interview offers than their more conservatively dressed counterparts.

From the 200 accountancy applications, there were 68 more interview offers for the more provocatively dressed woman.

“不管是什么工作，不管是要面對(duì)客戶的女銷售員還是坐在辦公室的女會(huì)計(jì)，低胸裝的求職者都得到了更多肯定答復(fù)。”
