If You've Got IT Flaunt It

I have been observing over the last few weeks how it is that those who are good looking really do get the job. Assuming all candidates have been put forward with similar experience/qualifications, male employees will nearly always choose the tall, blonde over the plain jane. It's human nature really and no PC human rights legislation can do anything about it. An acquaintance of mine was complaining about just this issue the other day when she was interviewed - unfortunately lacking in the looks department, she wasn't snapped up immediately and even more unfortunate for her, the employer was a male. She didn't really get what was happening as she was well qualified for the position but I wasn't going to be the one to tell her the reality.

But it's not all bad news for the non-lookers - absolutely not!!! In NZ our public sector is the fastest growing area and they gravitate there - especially to the Councils where looks are not favoured and bad hair, no dress sense and grungy looks are what matters. If these non-lookers play their cards right, they will move up through the ranks and the sky's the limit - look at our PM - perfect example.

Attractive people will always have an edge to their counter-parts - it's a reality that has and always will remain with us and no amount of evolution can change that.
