Could showing skin get you a job interview as a woman?
Call it a revealing study,,, and it’s done by the French.
It finds that women who wear low-cut tops in resume photos have better chance at interview.
Dr. Sevag Kertechian, a researcher at Paris-Sorbonne University, executed the study over three years.
He used two different photos — of two different women wearing a conservative top in one shot and and a low cut top revealing cleavage.
400 photos of the women were sent out with resumes- with nearly identical career experience..applying for 100 jobs in either accounting or sales.
Kertechian found that women who dressed less conservatively in their photos were 19 times more likely to secure a interview for the job they hoped to land.
Regardless of the job, whether facing customers as a saleswoman or an office-based accountant, the candidate with the low cut clothing received more positive answers.
Of course, it was only studied in France…
