Good-looking people less likely to be hired for unattractive roles

Studies prove time and time again, that better-looking people climb up the career ladder faster. In fact, a study from Chicago and California Universities found that those with a smart appearance had more frequent pay rises, and earn around 20% more than those who don’t pay attention to grooming.

However, in hiring, it appears to be a different story. New research from the London Business School, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that beautiful applicants aren’t always advantageous.
