Ninety-six per cent of Taiwanese think good looks are vital for getting and holding a good job, and 35 per cent would be willing to undergo plastic surgery to improve their looks, a survey showed Friday.

According to the survey of 1,802 career people conducted by the 1111 Job Bank, 96 per cent believed that good looks could help them get a good job, hold a good job, impress clients, attract the attention of bosses and get along well with colleagues, the Apple Daily said.

Most of the men interviewed said they wanted to look like Japanese-Taiwanese film star Takeshi Kenashiro. Most of the women interviewed hoped to look like Taiwan's top model Lin Chih-ling.

When asked what kind of plastic surgery they wanted to have, respondents mentioned removing wrinkles, liposuction, orthodontic work to align teeth, eyelid surgery to make the eyes look larger, and height enhancement.
