Am I wrong to feel this way?

Am I wrong to feel this way?

I am going for a job interview in about an hour. My husband called and told me to go dazzle them with my beauty. I am more than qualified for the position, so does he think that the only reason I will get it is because of my looks?

This is a touchy subject, because you are very beautiful. As a guy, I would suggest that your husband was trying to pay you a compliment, and it just happened to be in the wrong context.

If I were your husband I would compliment you daily, so if he does the same thing then it was probably harmless.

But it does raise a touchy subject. How much do looks affect job interviews and career? Unfortunately very much. The glass ceiling while fading is still there, and women still get paid less then men for comparable positions. So it is impossible to know how much your good looks have helped or hindered you in positions unfortunately.

So I wouldn't take it personally. Just let your husband know that while you appreciate his compliments, you would prefer that he doesn't mention them in relation to your career. let him know that it is more then your good looks that has gotten you where you are today, and you are very clear on that. Then let him know how much you love him, and thank him telling you how beautiful you are.

Hope this helps.

HE WAS JUST TRYING TO CHEER YOU UP KNOWING HOW JOB INTERVIEWS CAN BE. GIVE HIM A BREAK. HOPE YOU DO WELL WITH THE JOB.

I think you're reading too much into his comment, he was only trying to offer encouragement.

Good luck with the interview!!

I think he was just giving you a compliment. Im sure if he married you than he has faith you will get a job because of your brains, that should be a given. So, good luck and go knock them out with beauty and brains!


notyours
it's not the only reason you should get the job. but you should always use all of your assets, it might just be what puts you over the next girl

He probably meant it as a compliment; you just took it the wrong way.

No. He is just trying to say, " i love you my super beautiful, qualified wife. Go get em!"

Dazzle them with your brains and your beauty!

What type of job are you trying to get? Sounds like he may of been trying to relax you and make you laugh. Dont take it personally.


nbr660
No I'm sure that's not what he meant


Bonnie K
I don't think so, I think you are over reacting on this one, I think that was his way of saying good luck and he thinks your beautiful.


iamlsu
He loves to look at you and thinks others will too.

Ur husband was just simply paying you a compliment. U will get the job because of ur qualifications not because of ur looks. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!

Because you have it, you should use it! "Pretty girls just seem to find out early, how to open doors with just a smile..." Remember that song by the Eagles? It's true. Good luck.

HES not stupid, he knows how most men think. I was hired on several jobs because of my beauty. NOT FAIR.

Geez!!! He's merely giving you a complement!! Don't read too deep into it.


inlovewow
No, he's boosting your confidence and wishing you good luck. Your beauty might help, but it's how you act and what you know that will get you the job. Don't think too much about it. You're starting to sound like me!

Is this how we take compliments now..How narcissistic!

No he's trying to make you feel confident about yourself.

He just wanted to boost your confidence.

You are much too bored if your dwelling on such things. You need a job.
Good luck with the interview.


pumpkinhoney2
No. He is trying to be supportive and make you feel good. You should be glad he loves you. My husband picked a fight before a interview once. It could be worse.

No, judging by your name you are proud of your looks and it sounds like he is too. He was just trying to wish you luck. Men are morons, he didn't mean anything by it.
