i know its not what most people wanna do but i know a girl who continuously gets call centre jobs, one after the other, she changes if she doesnt like them, ive seen with my own eyes her getting confirmation of several jobs each time she applies, why cant these people apply for a shitty call centre job for the time being?

the people with 'white sounding' names werent applying any better than the others though

but its good advice to note that still.

ashman, thats understandable considering that you sat on your arse blaming sciatica and lounging on ESA for 10yrs

cant blame anyone for that as the most unskilled whiteys also wont get jobs

i get where ur coming from tbh, i could never see myself doing a telesales job, but after applying for 2500 jobs with no luck, or more so 5000 with 3 interviews like ashman, i think its something i may consider.

She deffo makes more than benefits.

on a related note, any hard faces brothers in america are pissed. wonder if it applies here... you man working in the city, do you have di hard nubian face?

If given the chance, Science will jump over mountains to point out that we're more superficial than we think. The business world is no exception -- in fact, a study by Duke University found that "competent looks" had a direct correlation to the paycheck of a given CEO. The traits that implied competence were craggy, rugged, mature facial features, presumably because we want business leaders who go home to wrestle a bear in a log cabin. Fair enough.

But that study mostly involved white CEOs. A study of black CEOs found the exact opposite -- their success was directly related to how "baby-faced" they were.

"Give this man a pacifier and make him our new CFO!"

Here's how they figured out the correlation: Whiteys were shown 40 headshots of black men, white women and white men who were current or former CEOs of Fortune 500 companies. Then the subjects were asked to judge personalities based on the headshots, because we really don't judge people based on their headshots enough in this world. Did the people look competent? Warm and friendly? How much money did they make? Were they good in bed? Did they pee in the shower? You know, the usual things you can tell from a headshot.

So then things took a turn for the oddly specific. Black men who had rounder faces were perceived to not only earn more money but have higher positions within their companies. The crazy part was that those ridiculous predictions were right! The black guys with baby faces really did earn more money than their black counterparts who were more facially chiseled. Can you guess why? If your answer started with an "r" and rhymed with "fascism" if "fascism" had a long "a" sound, then you're right. One of the researchers put it this way:

To function effectively as an African-American male in the U.S. it helps to have a disarming mechanism.

"No, sir, his face is pretty square. I figured it's better to be safe than sorry, you know?"

And by "disarming mechanism," he means something that makes white people think you're not out to hurt them, even though they're asking for it by requiring a disarming mechanism in the first place. In this case, the thing that helped these real world CEOs get ahead in their field was something they couldn't help -- the shape of their face. But there are other times when a Harvard degree, friendly smiles or a pair of suspenders can do the trick. Look at President Obama, after all. No one can say that lean BHO is sporting a baby face. Except the president happens to have another trick up his sleeve:

Big ears or a simple smile can disarm one's appearance from suggested perceptions of threat that might otherwise be associated with black males. This could serve to increase the appeal of the president or even one of Hollywood's most successful actors -- Will Smith.
