I'm looking at some companies such as Best Buy and Macy's and a few others like Citi and seeing that the people look nice aesthetically, but I wouldn't say they're models of any type. I'm wondering if your chances of promotion are less if you're not the hottest looking person in pool of qualified people. It seems to me that in a company trying to make a profit that's not in entertainment you would generally look for a person who's better at doing the job and if all others are essentially equal or close to it, then you would count education, and if that's the same, you would look for other areas like personality if personality is important in the area they want to be promoted to.
I'm not a super model and don't intend to become one, I'm hoping that my education and experience all the things that make someone sucessful in a business would outweigh or even trump aesthetic appearance. After all most companies care more about if the customer is happy and making money than if you're pretty but inept or not as good as the less aesthetically pleasing possibly more plain one.
I've been told by several people, (including ones I've rewritten resumes for, sucessfully) that they were surprised that with my education, knowledge, and personality that I can't seem to find a job anywhere that pays. I can work for free, but I didn't go to college to volunteer somewhere for the rest of my life.
