Today, I went on a group job interview, where all the applicants seem to have the same qualifications. When the interviewer dismissed all of us but the prettiest girl, outraged, I told him he was a prejudiced pig, and should be ashamed of himself. Apparently she was the only one who had a car. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss told me I got my new job because she rejected candidates that seemed "too confident" or "too pretty." FML
Today, I went to an important job interview, only to be told I'm not what such a "prestigious" company was looking for. This from a pimply-faced 20-something who took a personal call on speakerphone mid-interview, and actually said "LMAO" out loud at his friend's joke. FML
Today, I went in for an interview at my dream job. When I walked in, I got a dirty look from the front desk secretary. Turns out, the guy interviewing me was from a dating website I'm on. I'd rejected him and told him to get a life. FML
Today, my friends gave me a complete makeover, which included clothes from their wardrobe, to prepare me for an upcoming job interview. I was then declined the position, because apparently, I "looked too wealthy" to need the job. FML
Today, I had a job interview at a local business with the owner who was man, and the manager who was a woman. I thought I did pretty well because I heard the manager whisper so, as I was walking out. Then I heard the owner whisper, "No fat chicks." FML
Today, I applied for a job as a secretary. As I sat in the waiting room, the interviewer came out with his wife. She gave me a once-over, then said to her husband, "Hire this one. She's so ugly, you would never have an affair with her." FML
Today, I had an interview to be a waitress. Afterwards, I had food in the restaurant, which is where I overheard my interviewer tell the manager he wasn’t going to bother hiring “that girl I just interviewed” because "her face is nasty and she’ll put the customers off their food." FML
Today, while waiting for a job interview, a woman sat down next to me and asked if I was here for the job too. Thinking she was also an applicant, I tried to demoralise her, and said the job was going to be a complete joke. With that, she stood up and said, "Do you still want to go into my office?" She was the interviewer. FML
Today, I went in to a job interview with 6 other girls my age. I tried to sit down on a chair exactly like the ones every other girl was sitting on. Then, one of the interviewers offered to get me a more "sturdy" chair. For the entire interview, I got to sit in the "fat girl chair". FML
Today, I had a job interview, for which I spent hours preparing. My interviewer was nothing more than a pimple-faced teen, and after only two minutes of reviewing my qualifications, he lost interest and started asking such questions as which Hogwarts house is my favorite. FML

I won't deny better looking people do get jobs more easily, but YDI for assuming someone pretty couldn't be just better qualified.

well YDI for yelling at the guy and voicing that opinion when there was a good chance you could be wrong and leave looking like a dumbass. in all honestly, i might've thought the same thing if i saw that happen..prettier people do tend to get stuff handed to them, but there is no way i would've said that out loud.

If you all had the same qualification, even if the pretty girl didn't have a car, she would still have gotten the job fair and square. He would only be a pig if she didn't have the qualifications for the job. YDI for being a bitter negative whiner.

I'm gonna have to agree with a large majority of the opinions in here.. You had absolutely no reason to yell and accuse the boss of something like that. And even if you were correct, you would never have been hired anyway, because no one wants a person who will scream like a child to work in a professional environment. She also "seemed" to have the same qualifications. For all you know she didn't. You had no right whatsoever to feel so morally enlightened that you could accuse the interviewer of prejudice.

this isn't feminism. this is just a pretty little package of jealousy, all wrapped up in a sparkly combination of entitlement and bitchiness.

Well, in a way it is, because the woman accused the man of being prejudiced because he chose the more attractive female.. a feminist would say that to choose the more attractive female would be chauvinist and would say the man was prehudiced to do so. I am merely interpreting the OP's response and line of thinking to be as such.

No, a feminist would never, EVER imply that another woman only qualified for a job based on her physical appearance. Ever. This was not feminism. It was a case of low self-esteem and bithcyness.

So pretty girls can't also be good at their jobs? That assumption is just as sexist as the interviewer would be if he only hired her because she was pretty. YDI.

It's human nature. Even without the car she probably would have been hired. Pretty people get jobs more easily. Accept it and move on. Plus, if all the applicants have exactly the same qualifications then something needs to separate them.

@Dalarsco [#52] except if it's a woman doing the hiring. :P then they don't want anybody better looking then them. XD sometimes...not always.
