When they do get hired, beautiful people tend to get higher salaries, better performance evaluations, are more likely to gain admission to university, get better voter ratings when running for public office and more favorable judgments in trials, she said.
So it is not all bad for you lookers.
Quote:
The study's authors chided employers who let stereotypes and physical appearance influence hiring decisions, urging them to hire on merit.
That is never gonna happen.
In a very masculine job someone who comes in looking like a sex bomb is more likely to cause disruption if all the blokes will be after her. They are much more likely to hire someone who looks as though they'll fit in as one of the boys.
It's not so much looks as presentation. When you go for a job you target your presentation towards what you think they are looking for. You don't send the same CV/resume for every job application nor do you wear the same clothes.
Even a man who only owns one suit will wear a different tie depending on what he knows about the company culture.
