God gave some guys the genes of Adonis and left me with a genetic makeup more favoring Gimli. Unfortunately, although it pains me to say it, looks are part of merit when being considered for a job wherein a a good portion of the job depends on first impressions. You have to attract clients, make them want to interact with you, make good impressions on judges who don't know you, etc. That's all easier when you're one of the beautiful people.Ken Lammershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15646250142814585354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098620.post-82881167010838336082010-02-20T12:24:12.825-05:002010-02-20T12:24:12.825-05:00I wish we could "test" them. Send them ...I wish we could "test" them. Send them 2 Harvard law grads to interview for a position -- one attractive with mediocre (for Harvard) credentials, and the other one homely and thick but with stellar credentials (for Harvard). Is there anyone out there who would like to be part of our experiment? We will try to cast you for the pretty one and if you are cast as the homely one, we'll lie and tell you you're the pretty one ;)Claudettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12142392822308388496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098620.post-38463270189873927132010-02-20T12:20:49.663-05:002010-02-20T12:20:49.663-05:00I kind of agree that all the females have these fe...I kind of agree that all the females have these feminine petite features. I don't see any women with unappealing proportions to their faces, or short hair for example. <br /><br />I wouldn't say that proves it's an outright bias, however, because you can't know unless you're in the environment to really experience the vibe and culture. <br /><br />I mean plenty of Discovery channel specials have already told us outright that for the female gender proportion and facial beauty affect all types of social interactions. I guess I can't expect that a law firm will somehow skirt evolutionary biology, especially since a law firm is engaged in the commercial version of Darwinism.Claudettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12142392822308388496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098620.post-27954625294089848342010-02-18T16:33:13.605-05:002010-02-18T16:33:13.605-05:00You know, I went and looked at the pics on my offi...You know, I went and looked at the pics on my offices site and they did the same thing. All the guys were lit from the side and the women got the no-shadow treatment.Ken Lammershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15646250142814585354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098620.post-38095829985632928152010-02-10T03:07:37.625-05:002010-02-10T03:07:37.625-05:00Heh.

Let me throw in something else...<br /><br />Don't forget you're probably looking at professionally produced business portraits. Making the women look attractive is part of the photographer's job.<br /><br />For example, the men are lit from the side, which brings out some dramatic shadows on their faces. The women appear to be lit with more of a glamor lighting setup: The key light is broad and comes from over the camera. <br /><br />Also, when the women woke up on photograpy day, they probably paid extra attention to their hair and makeup. The photographer might even have brought in a makeup artist to help.Windypundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01788171819370012437noreply@blogger.com
