It means I go into an interview wearing my "Cock goes here" lipstick.

You're hired.

Depends on the job.

Does it really matter how many words I can type?

Plastic surgery is big in Korea because photographs are expected on resumes.

Tips for farkers: Clean up that acne and wipe those Cheetos stains off your face. And don't be fat or wheezing while hobbling your lardass over to the chair.

>> Researchers prove looks matter when it comes to finding a job

Gee i wonder why the failure rate for businesses is sky high ?

Bob16: Gee i wonder why the failure rate for businesses is sky high ?

Because by and large, most of the people with money cheated to get it or had it handed to them from daddy, rather than doing anything productive. The truly productive get cheated, but are too busy actually doing work and battling the 50% of the country that thinks a pension, health insurance, and a cost of living raise is liberal ivory tower elitism.

This is not groundbreaking at all. I pretty much thought it was accepted as a truth that looks matter in the hiring process, so much so, that I can't believe articles are still being published on it. This is akin to a study trying to determine whether water is wet.

It's why I have my job.
They had choice between me and some troglodyte looking dude who was probably more qualified than me at the time.

humbug, i look stupid and i don't have a job

The less technical the job is and the more it relies on soft skills (e.g. making people feel welcome, creating a great atmosphere for clients and coworkers), the more looks matter. For jobs that are highly technical, I look for the person who is the best qualified and has a proven record of getting results. I don't care if the person has a cleft lip or 3 glowing orange eyes - if they can do the work well without a lot of supervision, they're hired.

In fact, in some instances, I tend not to hire people (especially women) who are too attractive because really good-looking women tend to have very active social lives, which can find a way of interfering with work. Give me a plain jane woman with a monster work-ethic and a pleasant attitude and things will work out just fine.

My wife is an IT recruiter. Her philosophy is that for programmers, looks are unimportant. Also unimportant: hygiene, table manners, and the ability to tell time. The idea is that you just stick them in a dark room with lots of monitors on their desks, and throw a case of Mountain Dew and some raw meet twice a day. Code comes out as just another natural excretion.

A decent merlot went out through my nose and all over the monitor, you bastard. :^)

Inside every programmer is a small voice, constantly talking. It says get a real job. It says stop wasting your time with these silly machines. Go outside and actually talk to that girl. That voice is usually their mom. All you have to do is pay the programmer more than the voice makes and it'll shut up and they'll be your unquestioning devotee.

Liquor makes my code-pooping-factory go, but as I understand it, every programmer is different. Some even fuel on Starbucks and sunshine, the sick farkers.

FTFY

But please, don't let me get in the way of you excusing your FAIL on not being lucky enough to have a rich daddy.

This is a mistake. Attractive women not only make your clients happier, they make your staff happier. If you have enough of them, it serves as a recruiting and staff retention strategy.

But since you are obviously expecting your employees to be 24 hour slaves to your business and not have a social life, I guess you dont consider employee happiness to be an asset, so... carry on.

/yes, I just countered a sexist point by taking sexism to the next level. Im aware of that, but I am being honest. Attractive men have a similar effect, so its more lookist than sexist.

My office is overflowing with hot women. I'm married, and so are half of the hot women, but still...

FYI, I choose employees who have a similar work ethic to the rest of the people who work for me. It's possible to work very hard and be happy. But I guess to lazy assholes like yourself, that idea is difficult to comprehend.

You are a piece of shiat and your opinion is worthless.
