s.a.f said:This is probably true in some cases, your ability to sell yourself whatever your grades or experience also counts.
But yeah looks will have some impact even if only on a subconcious level.
It also depends on the job itself, if we're talking about unskilled labour then yeah you might aswell go for the best looking candidate but if its a job where performance really matters and looks dont help then they'll possibly hire the best performer, although in many jobs how do they really know performance until after they've hired you?
I agree, looks have *some* influence in an interview, but it's minimal.
As I've stated in many other posts (which are always ignored by Club Negative), there are some jobs where looks are important; very few though and generally low paid / commission based.
I'm still chuckling at the idea of the worlds top business staffed by beautiful, but stupid people trying to work out how to work the photocopier.
