Do you think a woman has a better chance of getting a job if she's interviewed by a man or a woman?

Question

Do you think it matters at all? Or do you think that the job offer would be based on skills and qualifications alone?

Answer 1

An interviewer must have specific points of references on which he must work on.
1/ Profile of the employee to be recruited.( Given by the Employer)i.e qualifications,experience etc,etc.
2/ Appearance.
3/ Friendliness.
4/ Confidence-Poise.
5/ Conversation ability.
6/ Alertness/Intelligence.
7/ Body Language.( important is the capacity of the person to sustain the interviewer 's eyes )
8/ Fluency of the language spoken.( Precise , concise.to the point)
9/ Computer literacy ( if needed.)
All the above mentioned items are sub-divided usually in 4 .
Very good, Good, Satisfactory, Fair, Low average.
Whether you are a lady or a gentleman has no importance at all.,
if the job's profile has been well prepared by the employer.
To confirm the results of the interview , usually a P.P.A is asked( Personal Profile Analysis).

Answer 2

This question is harder than it seems because it's very general.
Every interviewer,applicant,company and job is different.
I'm sure some male interviewers out there are unduly influenced
by a female applicant's appearance,and some female interviewers are likewise influenced. On the other hand,some
interviewers are totally professional and don't allow petty biases
to sway them. All you can do is go out there and do your best
in every interview.

Answer 3

All of us have our personal biases. When interviewing, we are supposed to set those aside. However, there are many variables your question doesn't cover. What is the job? What are the interviewee's qualifications? What is her education? How does she present herself? What if the interviewers are attracted to her? (Depending on their sexual preference) Too, too many variables!

Answer 4

too many variables for a simple answer. Body English would get you hired faster by a man, but competency and a non-threatening demeanor would probably get you hired faster by a woman.

Answer 5

if she's hot, i think she has a better chance with a man. i also think it depends on the interviewer. some are so black and white and they really do just judge on your skills. others judge on the whole package......

Answer 6

Woman would be more likely to hire a woman.
