True, the company I work for won't hire some one who will be dealing with the public if they have tattoos and visible *********.

Though that is true, in formal businesses they also look to see if the person is well presented.

No, the ones who get the jobs are those who have applied them selves and become masters of their trade with good back grounds and work histories.

Life isn't fair in the least bit. Some employers will unfairly judge people on physical appearance, out of human nature.

... all other critical qualities being equal... and sometimes even when they're not. I believe research has substantiated this fact.

What position was it?

It was at a grocery store. You're right, it would have been physically demanding and the guy thought I wasn't cut out for it.

What kind of job was it? Jobs that require a lot of customer interaction, being good looking helps. Physical demanding jobs, they might judge you as being "too pretty". I have a speech impediment due to my Autism, I don't know if I've been rejected for that, but it wouldn't surprise if some employers have judged me for that. I wouldn't consider myself as good looking though.

Generally, I think yes, but I was once rejected because the guy said I looked too "delicate" for the job.

It depends on the job but if it's sales or has any kind of customer contact then definitely, and also add age to that too.
