When the job's not rocket science and only requires modest intelligence, is it easier to rank applicants according to appearance or being easy on the eyes?
My brother and father said even though employers talk about skills, its worth jack really, they're concerned about their image and your persona cos its the stuff they can't change, skills are always easy to teach or impart to willing workers of at least modest intelligence. Btw, Dad is a businessman and my brother has experience in hospitality supervision and lists the Adelaide Hilton on his CV.
Everywhere I went I noticed that I was up against [and its subjective, but I'm not too harsh a judge I reckon] physically attractive individuals and people whose appearance was easy on the eye. This is primarily a reflection of their natural appearance endowed by nature, influenced a little by grooming but grooming can only do so much if someone is not attractive at all or not anatomically correct.
