Popularity. I'm one to speak about it, no?
On my way to school, a bus or an FX ride, I pass by Espana* road and see that there are nursing review centers everywhere. Of course, it has now become a popularity contest, in my opinion, because of the posted pictures as a part of their advertising. It's like a movie gone wrong.
Anyway, I know what goes on inside a review center for my uncle already gave me a lesson on nursing board exams. Which is weird 'cause I was just there randomly listening to what it was about. Anyway, my point is that he needed no face to show to the public, but his credibility was exuberant enough. One to study Medicine and Nursing, he was one hell of a guy.
I don't really know what the purpose is putting your face in what profession you are in. You are selling your service, not yourself. Except for models and actors whose faces are included in the services they offer. But then again, it just becomes a race to who is more credible... or is it? I entered college review centers without knowing the faces of the mentors there. And I still gave them my trust.
Anyway, if the faces of the facilitators are up there in the ads, would it give me more reason to trust these guys? You'd have first impressions, first. In one ad, there was this nurse with a red afro. Another, a guy sitting with a really white face. The other, a movie poster of a horror film wherein all the faces are put together in a line and the title looking like it was superimposed.
These ads say that they've got a 99.5% passing rate. Kind of like a soap ad, if you ask me.

these days, whatever your job,
it's all about face.
even elevator attendants/button-pressers have to dress up and look presentable.
as much as we don't want it to, sometimes, sadly, looks do matter.
hmm, true enough it does.
but presenting a point that being presentable matters, it doesn't mean that you'll squander your face in the service you're offering.
the elevator attendants/button-pressers didn't have to put pictures of their faces in front of the elevators they work in. :P
presentable, yes. but the elevator guy didn't need his face plastered all over his workplace to be able to sell his service, because he is actually required (under any circumstance) by some other higher-ups and has no other choice but to render that service.
it's kind of like mcdonald's. you need a ace to "present" the burgers to your target, but the cashier doesn't actually need to have his/her face plastered all over the store because s/he is required by some other higher-ups.
anyway. i think we're comparing apples and oranges here. :P
maybe so. hahaha
