With fall right around the corner and many new graduates about to enter the working world, this time of year is a busy season for job seekers. Whether you’re looking for your first real position or trying to earn a promotion, raise, or make a career shift, putting your best foot forward is essential to landing your dream role. Unfortunately, however, when it comes to your employment status it’s not enough to simply have the right qualifications. To gain a competitive edge requires you to look the part, and to do that, having a healthy, white smile is essential.
If you’re looking to make moves in your career this season, here’s how whitening your teeth can help!
First Impressions Matter
When it comes to landing a job, the first impression you give a potential employer is often the most important one. According to a recent study, people with whiter teeth have a better chance of being hired and of being offered a higher salary. In fact, in the study, 58 percent of the participants who whitened their teeth before attending a simulated job interview were hired, and 53 percent were offered higher salaries!
Improving Dating Odds
Having a whiter smile doesn’t just benefit your career, either. It can also help you improve your success in your personal life. In the same study, participants who went on simulated dates had similar success. Fifty-nine percent of those who had whitened their teeth were perceived as being more outgoing, while 54 percent of evaluators wanted to continue their date.
Professional Teeth Whitening
If your smile is looking a little lackluster these days, don’t despair. Professional Zoom! Whitening can help. Done at your dentist’s office, Zoom! can be completed in about an hour and lift six to eight shades of staining from your teeth in just one treatment. Your dentist simply applies a powerful gel to your teeth while you relax under a special light that accelerates the process. You’ll be able to leave your appointment and return to your daily activities with a confident, healthy, glowing smile, and zero downtime.
Remember, your credentials are what qualify you for the job, but your smile can often help you seal the deal. If your teeth aren’t looking quite as white as you’d like, give yourself an instant boost of confidence and improve your odds of success with a professional whitening treatment!
