Extremely attractive people are less likely to get hired due to hiring bias - Study. Has anyone faced it before?
It seems there is a hiring bias against attractive people. But there are studies that also say,attractive people tend to have more resources than the rest of the lot.Hmmm.

I’ve never came across that before for standard jobs , I have only came across people being turned down for having unique styles or dyed hair but for being too attractive never heard of that or seen that happen. If it was modelling I could understand why it happens because I’m a model myself part time and I’ve been turned down loads of times for not fitting into their standards as each brand or agency has different ideas , there is one I asked about but never heard anything back which only has people with visible disabilities or unique facial features or conditions , I suppose I looked too normal for them.
@SW-User Well, if your hiring manager was a female, in all likelyhood this was the case. Now, if you ask me. Models in general I consider to be not that attractive. I have seen normal chikcs who are way way ahead in the attractiveness scale, atleast as per me. Perhaps you are one like that. Its likely you faced some type of bias.
