There
has been an increase in the number of women who are entering the workforce in
Saudi Arabia. As of now, the demand for jobs for women is increasing at a
higher rate than the availability of jobs for women. Besides traditional job
avenues for women such as teaching, women are also entering other fields such
as interior design, law and computer engineering according to an article in The
Middle East Eye. At the same time, the Ministry of Labour is aiming at
increasing the participation of women in the workforce by running several
programs with the same objective.
At
the workplace, regardless of your gender, it is important to appear neat, tidy
and efficient to your superiors and co-workers. One of the ways you can create
the wrong impression is by having dark circles under your eyes at work. Let us
look at the kind of associations people usually make when they see a co-worker
with dark circles.
What
Impressions Others Form About You
Bad
personal routine: Yes, everyone knows what typically causes dark circles under eyes is lack of sleep.
However, people are not going to stop and make concerned enquiries about why
you are not getting enough sleep. They are most likely to form a conclusion
about your lack of discipline and decide that you do not follow a healthy daily
routine. The idea they form is that someone who cannot take care of their basic
health needs such as getting enough sleep, they would not be able to take care
of the work that is assigned to them either.
Bad
personal health: One of the causes for the formation of circles is a
deficiency of iron in your diet. Keep in mind that excessive consumption of
coffee or tea at the same time will reduce your body's capacity to absorb iron.
In fact, there are a number of health problems that people might assume you are
suffering from just by looking at the condition your eyes are in. Puffy eyes
can be misunderstood to be a sign of kidney trouble. Yellow eyes can indicate
jaundice and even make people think that you are fond of drinking excessive
alcohol.
Too
old for the job: When you appear younger, people assume that you are
energetic and alert. Dark circles under your eyes will
make your face appear ragged and older. We are not suggesting that you use
anything more than ordinary make up to make yourself seem more polished and
professional. Studies have found that those who look fit for the job are more
likely to be given important tasks.
Make
up is a very personal thing. While you might wear a little make up to a job
interview, you will not wear any for a college examination. The fact is that
make up makes you feel confident in the knowledge that you are not just looking
your best but also feeling your best.
