Acne and getting hired

I know this might sound really stupid, but I think acne is the reason (or one of the reasons) people won't hire me. They probablly want clients to come into the place and see an "okay" looking person, if not, they probably won't go to that place as much.

I've even heard stories about how an attractive girl with no experience got hired over a girl who had experience but she was ugly. It was setup on a certain reality show.

I'd like to hear from people here on LW. Have you seen an "ugly" person get hired...or maybe you (no offence)? Also, don't mention how someone got acne or became unattractive later on, cuz they can't fire someone for that.

Depends on the job..
i've especially noticed it at the orthodontist (where you get/maintain braces), they always have the finest ladies so it's not some transvestite grandma working in your mouth. Acne will clear up by the time you seriously need a job, though.

Well I'm also nervous at interviews, so I guess that can be the reason?

It really depends on what type of job you're looking to get. if you want to be a model, then appearance counts a lot. If not and you want to get a job at an office of some sort, you should be fine.

If you're so worried about acne and whatnot, try to get some treatment.
