Lady Raine,

It’s actually easy for me to get a job if the person doing the interview is a woman or if the majority of the HR department are women. If it’s a man or men in those positions, forget about it.

I remember when I was younger, I used to be a really big flirt until I realized that people actually were taking it to heart (There have been some ugly situations caused by this) so I stopped. For some reason if I get too friendly with a woman they think I’m coming on to them and they return the favor, it’s funny because my mother is the exact same way with men.


Do you know why you get the job more easily? There’s some info out there on that particular anomaly between men getting jobs and women getting jobs:

When a male is attractive, the company will typically see him as more powerful, assertive, and “hard working” automatically, while when a woman is attractive she will be assumed to have LESS of a hard work ethic, be less intelligent, and be a “distraction”. They’ve done some weird studies on that and done those random blind “photo” only tests on employers to see what impression they instinctively get of attractive men/attractive women and unattractive men/women.

Apparently, an UNattractive woman is far more likely to be offered most jobs (unless they’re based on looks) because she’s assumed to be “more hard working” and “more reliable” than the attractive woman.

I’ll have to look that up, but for men…..the opposite is *allegedly* true.
