Good Looking Men Get Jobs, But Women?

ChickRx reports in their article, Model Employee, that good looking men have an easier time getting a job interview than good looking women. Hmm, why is that?

They seem to have found a culprit. Many of the people who screen candidates are recruiters. Those recruiters tend to be women. And many of those women tend to be younger single women. As such, there is the potential for some jealousy issues to arise.
