Many job seekers are going under the knife with the pretext of looking good for an interview. This is not limited to girls but guys also.

EverCare, one of the most popular cosmetic surgery clinics in Beijing, performed over 1,000 operations last year. 95% of the patients were women and over 20% were under 25 years old.

A Beijingnese girl, who just had her double-eyelid surgery, says: "It's an economic age of beauty with good-looking girls rumored to earn 10 percent more than other plain looking girls". A 'double-eyelid' surgery costs around 2000 Yuan ($250) in China, adding a crease to the eyelids to make the eyes appear larger.
