Well a first physical attraction would be about looks. You wouldnt walk past a guy / girl and say to your self "yeah baby, I bet he has a good personality."

Although they won't admit it, some employers will look at it and not hire you for that reason. But if you have the experience, good work ethic, work history, and references...you will find something. Those that won't hire on that basis are not a company you want to work for anyways. Go into your interviews with a positive attitude and don't ever look at it as "I'm old and overweight so they won't hire me" If thats ringing in the back of your mind, it will show a weakness in you, in some way, during the interview (although you may not see it). Good Luck! I think you'll do just fine if you can keep a positive attitude and not get down, even if it takes a little longer than usual to find a good job!

"Nudity is a good thing. The human body is a work of art in infinite variation, regardless of size and shape. While it’s true that some are more pleasing to the eye than others, it’s always a matter of perspective just why that is and which pleases more than others. What I find incredibly attractive may cause someone else to shudder and look away. Same for those that find me attractive. I’m \ndefinitely not built for the masses, but I enjoy my body and am comfortable in my skin, so the opinion of others doesn’t really have a huge effect. Sure, compliments or pure jaw-dropped, drooling lust are good things, but the very best feeling is looking in the mirror and being not only satisfied, but happy.\n\nWith the infinite variety in shape that nature has provided, of course there are areas common to each male that I always find attractive, regardless of any other \nattributes. The hollow of a man’s throat, the tender spot just beneath his earlobe"\n\n"the web of skin between his thumb and fingers that’s perfect for biting. On a broader scale there are arms and hands and asses and chests and those great undefinables, attitude and personality. If that weren’t enough, there’s the whole total package thing. I’m sure the men I find attractive are, for the most part, considered generally good-looking, but he’s got to have the entire package going on if I’m going to pursue him. And to be perfectly honest, if those indefiniables are a spectacularly good thing, the rest just doesn’t matter.\n\nNature has provided us with a built-in set of preconceptions passed on genetically. It is the learned behavior and experience that refines, and perhaps \neven changes, those preconceptions. Attraction is a wonderful and mysterious thing."

I would say as long as you have the brains to do the job correctly  unless your a front desk type person looks really shouldn't be an issue.  I know I did temp work at afew companies and they only let rather attractive women work at the front desk position and they stuck myself and other larger less sexy people in the cubes but we did our work so nobody complained about us although the front desk position was filled every few weeks by a different person.  \n\nAlso in my opinion to find work these days  it doesn't matter what you know but WHO you know   is a bigger factor

Real answer.\n\nThe truth is, Sarah, you won't have to go out of your way to use it, and it will be better if you don't anyway. People are naturally attracted to beauty, elegance, and high quality. Attractive people have a much better likelihood of success in business.    Just like people that dress well, are charming, and are likeable.  It all comes down to being likeable.\n\nAs an attractive woman with sex appeal, people will want to like you, although many will let envy and jealousy prevent themselves from doing so, and blame it on you. (I'm sure that's happened to you before.)  But that's just a burden of the blessing that you have. And what will help you most is to manage that burden. \n\nHow? By seeking to understand first, then to be understood.  By showing interest in others first, which will make you interesting in their eyes, and just by being "down to earth".  If you do those things, the blessing of your physical attributes will come off as being non threatening, and amiable.  You will multiply their effect.  Everyone will want you on their team.  And that makes you a leader.\n\nIf you make a concerted effort to use your sex appeal, the guys will want to sleep with you, and the ladies won't like you, and you will have to manuever through both enemies, and hard-ons.  A lot of extra work...

1. usually slimness coincides with attractiveness.Its both aesthetically and instictively associated with a balanced health condition, fitness and increased resistance in natures challenges.It signifies instinctvely the better mate, the more suitable one to give birth and upbring offsprings etc. 2. no matter what, what is attractive,beautiful, charming remains highly subjective.The ugly and unattractive tho is objective.By assesing what part of the "not slim" of a girl is more or less objectively unattractive, u will get ur answer. 3. also mind that overall acceptance of a person lies in a sum of characteristics and qualities.Some are more important than others but the list of priorities remain highly personal.So boys usually like slim girls but not only....oh and keep in mind that ones best is the best that he/she is and/or can be....not what he/she isnt or never be

from what i've seen, Determination is the most appealing freature women look on men and resilience the least one.\n\nSo i think some women that hold one or more of this features will not find attractive in a man to have the same feature, they would rather go for the "compliment argument": between men, they would chose the one who reinforces what they lack.\n\nBut to each is own. The outcome of such choice of features or feature can not be predicted since every woman is different.

What we find atractive is confidence. \nIf a girl isn't very pretty compared to the society standards but she's confident, we find her atractive anyway, and maybe over hot girls with perfect 10 bodies!!

Being attractive is a matter of feeling good about oneself. When one feels good about herself, she takes care of herself like practicing cleanliness and proper hygiene as well as neatness. Also, when one feels good about herself, she has self-confidence. People gravitate towards those who have good self-concept.

Based on a comprehensive research study I just completed- it proves that the number one trait women look for most when they are searching for a mate is financial stability and social status- physical attractiveness is further down on the list- HOWEVER, for males, it is opposite- the number one quality men look for in women is physical attractiveness\n\nI am not sure how young you are talking when you say "young women" but I am 22 and financial security is more important to me than physcial attractiveness, which as I said above, falls into the norm\n\nThe one stipulation to this rule of thumb is what kind of relationship one is looking for- if a female is looking for a lifetime mate, the above remains true- however younger girls (pre-teen, teen) may not fall into that norm- Also if a person is looking only for a casual, sexual relationship, in that case physical attractiveness is more important

No I think its completely different than a job!  lol  A job is something u have to do in order to like ummmmm eat!  lol  When finding a man or woman its all about the chemical reaction u have with each other.  The magnet that draws you together with another person.  The scent each one of us gives off is unique.  Its all about attraction, need, and desire for one person.  Some people could view it as a job application- look at speed dating!  lol  But thats why they r failing- cuz they consider it a job and its not coming naturally out from them like it should!  everyone is trying too hard and not being themselves and the world seems to be on fast forward!

The answer you stated is perfect:\n\n"I left my previous employer in order to concentrate on finding a job where the employer recognizes an employee's excellent work ethic through advancement opportunities, this is something unfortunately, I was unable to accomplish with my previous employer." \n\nExcellent response.\n\nWeakness: "your inability to accept less than perfection"

IN England it is not an obligation but is generally the trend....\n\nThings like tele-marketing or non-face to face roles are not too bad, but bosses generally do not like the long hair look on staff\n\nI have employed guys with long hair before, I don't give a crap myself, but I know other employers that will not accept it (they would never admit it, but they would give the job to someone else)

Human nature.  We are designed with features/bodily adornments (hair, eye color...) that are meant to be attractive to the opposite sex.  Unfortunately those physical features are the first impression to the opposite sex and hard to overcome if you are attracted to a particular body feature.  Human nature is physical attraction 1st and mental attraction 2nd.
