Re: Correlation is not causality

Looks can work either way. I know of one instance in which an extremely attractive and well-qualified female applicant was downrated - by an attractive female manager - because it was thought that if hired she would be a distraction to her male co-workers. In the event, we hired her. She was not a significant distraction in the office, and turned out to be an outstanding (and rapidly promoted) employee.
