Studies have shown that they are more likely to be _1_ than their plain-Jane colleagues because people tend to project _2_ traits _3_ them, such as a sensitive heart and a cool head. They may also be at a/an _4_ in job interviews. But research suggests otherwise. Bra Hanks at Georgia State University looked at what happens when job hunters include photos with their resume, as is the _5_in much of Europe and Asia. The pair sent made-up applications to over 2,500 real-life _6_. For each job, they sent two very similar resume, one with a photo, one without. Subjects had previously been graded for their attractiveness. For men, the results were _7_ expected. Hunks were more likely to be called for an interview if they included a photo. Ugly men were better off not including one. However, for women this was _8_. Attractive females were less likely to be offered an interview if they included a mugshot. When applying directly to a company an attractive woman would need to send out 11 CVs on average _9_ getting an interview; a/an_10_ qualified plain one just seven. At first, Mr. Hanks considered _11_ he calls the “dumb-blonde hypothesis”that people _12_ beautiful women to be stupid. _13_, the photos had also been rated on how _14_ people thought each subject looked; there was no_15_ between perceived intellect and beauty. So the cause of the discrimination must _16_else where. Human resources departments tend to be _17_ mostly by women. Indeed, in the Israeli study, 93% of those tasked with selecting whom to invite for an interview were female. The researchers unavoidable conclusion is that old-fashioned _18_ led the women to discriminate _19_ pretty candidates. So should attractive women simply attach photos that make them look dowdy? No. Better, says Mr. Hanks, to discourage the practice of including a photo altogether. Companies might even consider the _20_ model used in the Belgian public sector, where CVs do not even include the candidates name. 1. A recruited B offended C promoted D flattered 2.
