Has anybody ever had a job experience where you got employed mainly coz of the way you look & present yourself?
It happens to quite a lot of women ofcourse but even to men....has it ever happend to you?
How do you feel about it?

when I was younger and a lot fitter..
.. I had a part time night job..
.... that relied heavily upon the way I looked.. and how I presented myself..
...... that part didn't really bother me..
... what bothered me was all those hands grabbing at me.. women there animals I tell you..

Lol that's cool....but im referring to real Jobs......as in a professional working environment

Ohhh.. it was real and we were all very professional... okay maybe not always professional... sometimes i don't charge as much as i should have ohh.. did I type that out loud..

Yep, when I worked in a pub for extra money, when I brought my oldest boy up myself. The manageress told me straight away that I was hired, just by looking at me. Found out though that she just liked younger guys around her bar and was reluctant to hire women, as she would see them as competition. She wasn't even good-looking either. Lasted 3 months in that job until I got a better paid one on a building site!

Lol that must have been quite an experience

When I interviewed for an accounting job with a commercial photographic agency, I was photographed during the first interview...Several months into the job, I asked my employer why the photo and he said, "In this business image is everything."... Wow, I didn't think that kind of hiring requirement was even legal, but I guess legalities are determined by the type of job you are seeking...I was OK with it though because it was my dream job!

Yes that 'image is everything' is an advantage to them & a positive outcome to the company....when they see you they see the best ways how they can make themselves more financial gain by hiring you & the image might help to a great extent

I went for an interview to be a bus driver one time.
They asked, why do you think you'd be good at this job
I replied 'cos I'm always late'

Back in my twenties I used to work in a lot of local nightclubs...looks was the main reason you would get hired...I worked in that scene for a good 5 years then decided to go to school and focus on something I could do that required something other than looks...looks don't last forever...glad I did too..lost my patience and tolerance of being approached by drunk men as well...all in all I can say it was a good time but I have found I like being appreciated for my skills and talents above being nice looking...

LOL Never, ever happened. It is usually the opposite for me. I am so ugly I can't get a job.

Nice smile Romeo.

Now where is my new job?

Now listen here justme, you are pretty by far, don't ever say that about yourself.
I'm not hitting on you by the way, but I will carry on perving on you lmao
but seriously, you're a fine chick

One of my first jobs was in an office, I would have only been about 17 yrs old. I was shy and nervous - so really took care about how I looked. I got the job. Only the boss and me in this office. In the first week he tells me that I wear way too much clothing.

hhhmmm I got out of there pretty quick

A life model cuz I needed the money.

Such is the nature of many industries.

Thanks all for the feedback.....please share more of your experiences
