Unfortunately it does. Human beings are very shallow (and often stupid) creatures who will make snap judgments based on appearance, gender and religion. I know this because I've sat in on discussions where people have been discriminated against because of those three. 5 Likes 1 Share |

well yes it does for some type of jobs especially dem marketing and front desk job. As for management trainee roles it still matters though its at a subconscious level. An interviewer subconsciously feels safe and free with a pretty/handsome well dressed candidate, though you still have to show case your skills but definitely looks do help. interviews are always subjective as long as you're being interviewed by a human. e.g some people just don't like guys that keep long beard even though it has nothing to do with the job. Now imagine you keep a beard and you meet an interviewer who personally or subconsciously doesn't like it, automatically there is some negative bias towards you. 8 Likes |

tosyne2much:Don't you just love Nigerians. They can change mouth... Statistics from where? NBS? Now ladies find jobs easily? I always thought Nigerian women don't work, they finish school...get married and leach on their husbands. OP, yes it does, looks sure helps. Gender comes in when it's a gender sensitive role (e.g) a female would naturally have an edge over a guy if it's a customer service role. A guy would also have an edge if it's an energy consuming role. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Sure...that's why light skinned girls are getting employed over black girls. You some positions don't really require much intelligence. Just be pretty and light skinned so that you can attract customers. 7 Likes |

tosyne2much: Link to the study? @OP, it depends on the nature of the job and requirements stated. I have seen job adverts here that explicitly say male or female needed. The industry matters. For instance, there are more male preferred vacancies than female preferred in IT, construction, engineering and technical related sectors. Are we to say ONLY males are employed for jobs? Same can be said for marketers, secretaries, personal assistants, health-care, teaching, care-giving related jobs. They most times I have seen here prefer females instead of males. Next time, don't start a post that has no iota of evidence or statistical analysis. |

Emmaesty: I think the germane question should be what year did I graduate and what kind of jobs am I being interviewed for. You were probably still writing WAEC when I left school. You really don't wanna know the kind of jobs I apply for BTW, from your question, are you implying 3rd class graduates ain't entitled to interviews? 5 Likes 1 Share |
