MORE SKIN = MORE LIKELY TO GET A JOB INTERVIEW

(June, 2016) According to new research from Paris-Sorbonne University, showing a bit of skin during the recruitment process can help a woman clinch a job interview. Over a period of three years, researchers responded to hundreds of job ads using two fictional female candidates: both had nearly identical resumes and experience, but one wore a low-cut top in her application photograph (which is commonly used when applying for jobs in France), while the other wore a conservative high-neck blouse. Guess which one attracted more interview offers? Researchers found that more cleavage brought more interest from recruiters. Out of 200 sales job queries, the woman wearing a low-cut top attracted 62 more interview offers than their more conservatively dressed counterpart.

* “Guess which one attracted more interview offers?” Oh, there were plenty of offers but not to interview.
