Director flat out accredited something I did well to my looks

[Anonymous]

My boss one time in a meeting with me and a couple of his other directs (both men) referred to me being attractive and how that has a ‘halo effect’ in how others trust and are influenced by me. I’m pretty sure after he said it he immediately regretted it. OPs example seems more hostile in nature, like that director is threatened by her success. I wouldn’t say anything but just be aware of that guy going forward.

Look I was a C student in college. But I was six foot two inch, in shape, very good looking and well dressed.

The women in HR in recruiting at time consisted of 21-27 year old females mostly single. I got pushed through asap to next level.

I landed a big job by 22 with staff and had meetings with VPs right out of gate. I looked the part. You would hire me to play a young Wall Street banker on a movie.

I no longer do it but I presented at 100s of events, later I was hired to do sales. Literally someone else would do work and I present.

I don’t pretend I am a genius I know my looks had a lot to do with it.
