Research says looks more crucial than CV for employment

An article published in the Economic Times notes that "the study of nearly 200 fashion and jewellery retailers, conducted by researchers at the University of Sydney, has revealed that ‘lookism’ is rife in the rag trade, where physical appearance is more important than previous experience."

The article further mentions, "Diane van den Broek, study co-author and senior lecturer in work and organisational studies at the University of Sydney, said that the findings suggest employers pay little attention to CVs."

Well, now we know that good looks matter perhaps as much as ones work experience, educational qualifications and job related skills.
