In case you are not familiar with the premise of the site: basically, apply you and are subsequently judged on your appearance before you are allowed to set up a profile. (Only one person in seven candidates are accepted on the site, which has about 750,000 members. BTW - who wants to be on it?) All new job listing service site maintains that "an attractive face is always a good first impression for any business."
Certainly, in some industries seems nothing, as if you are a host club or one of these girls who frequent the bars to give free shots of Jack Daniels. But encourage all businesses to focus on the beauty to the brain could be detrimental to the companies themselves - that people can be beautiful and intelligent, but to find the best possible person for the job, regardless of the quality of hair and bone structure, should be the goal.
In addition, the idea that, by 2013, a construction that comes there focuses on the superficial is kind of depressing in a sort of fall-des-modern-society of passage. I do not know about you, but I would never want to be hired for a job based solely on my looks (unless I had the body of a swimsuit model and Sports Illustrated called me, of course).
But, in all sincerity, regardless of how hot you are, to evaluate for your appearance is sorta... What is the word you are looking for? Ah yes, depressing. Because, as we know all, enough do not last forever.
