karla mBefor reading the article i thought it was wrong and in a way discriminating. After reading the article it seemed even more wrong. It seemed wrong because people were put in different work stations because of how they look
Jeanette M.No I don’t feel different because I aleady believed that everybody deserves a chance & you shouldn’t get a job just because of the way you look.
I feel different about working at a job that needs a certain look. It makes me wonder wether that the companies boss is racist or he’s just not the certain look he wants to be.
Kim-ThiBefore I read the article I thought that the employes had the right to hire who they want. And I still think that. Because if they want to sellthe things they want they have to make people want to buy it. Some guys go for the sexy look. So it makes them want to buy Certin things that like. Have you seen the hollister or aeropostale models? They look sexy and cute right? Well I think the manerger has they right to ask certin people if they want the job. Its their riught and my opinion.
[Blocked by CFC] Jason L.I feel differently now about hiring people because not every person fits the requirements that the company asks for. The way i feel about hiring people who fit the companys look might be illegal but its also an advertisement so that people could buy their products.
Jane C.I don’t feel different from how i felt before i read the article. The article is discriminating and it makes people feel insecure about there looks.
I feel different about working for a job that needs a certain look. It makes me wonder if the company is being racist or not.
[Blocked by CFC] Damiel B.No i think they shouldn’t get fired because they don’t have the right to get fired or unless they are doing something wrong.
Emily M.I feel different because the way it really should be is that poeple dont get jugded or dicriminated.Discriminating people and judging people is wrong. Just because people don’t have the look, does not mean that they do not fit the company’s image. In my opinion, everyone has the right to do anything.
[Blocked by CFC] Serena M.i think its wrong to not hire an “ugly” person because iis discriminating to them that they would have to work in the back of the store while the “pretty” people get to work in the front.even though its not illegal its still wrong and mean to do.
[Blocked by CFC] albertoi feel like an employer should hire who ever he or she like i mean u would’nt hire some one who doesnt have the expirience or some one who is all ragedy like some . the emploer should hire someon ewho fits their image like if u go to forever 21 u wouldnt hire a 50 year old who dosent noe anything about this millenia or someone from the stone age that is why i think some one should hire and the concludes my answer
Jason L.Yes i do think the companys have the right to hire any person that they want. The reason for this is because the company has requirements that the people have to meet. I think companys do have the right to hire people that fit the companys look because its an advertisement skeem to that people could buy there products…
[Blocked by CFC] jordan s.I do feel different about some jobs like modeling because they do need a certain look but other stores should hire the most qualified
jaiNot realy I still fell the same I just know how it can hurt people.
aaronI think that a business should hire who ever fits there image and the business could hire whoevere they want they could hire only girls and it wont mattere i think they could hire whoever they want.
yetzabeli&christianI say no because people shouldn’t get fired just because they don’t fit there image.=]
i think no because at some point the companies cross the line between “there image” and bieng racist.
jordan s.i do feel different about jobs like modeling but other jobs should hire the most qualified
jordan s.i do feel different about jobs like modeling but other jobs should hire the most qualified person
mayra zI don’t think it’s racist or mean that the store would ask certain people for a job because it does help the store but if someone asks for a job then they should give it to them.
AMONI & LUPEBefore I read this article I didnt really care about an image.Now that I read it I feel like at sertant places they should have an surtant image you should follow,and at others you shouldnt jude a book by its cover so fast.
[Blocked by CFC] yasmeen q jessica fbefore i read the article i felt that that was kind of mest up that they didnt want to hire people that dont look really nice looking.after i read the article i felt as if they should stop doing that and give everybody a chance to try out for what they are hiring for.
Dolores VNo i dont feel different because i think everyone deserves a chance and you shouldnt have to look a certain way to get a job.
Alyssa R.Before I read the article i thought it was wrong to hire someone just based on looks because not every person is going to look like that and it gives the buyers the wrong idea and that they might look like the models or sales clerks. Some companies do have the right but most should’nt hire based on looks.
[Blocked by CFC] ChristinaE.Before I read this I felt that companies had no reason to hire people for a look. But after reading that article I feel differently. I feel that companies can sell however they like. Although, they should not just base it on the look and that’s all. I think the should base it on skill and maybe look after that.
geovanniBefore i read the article, i thought it was bad and wrong to hire only because of looks and there “image”. now my opinion hasn’t changed. its still wrong and the article still made it sound bad.
i don’t think people sould be hired just cause they fit the image.
i think people sould be hired if they have the right talents for the jop.
John P.Before i read the article, i thought that they could hire whoever they like but now i think they should hire people with good expiriences.
Larisa PBefore I had read this article,I really didnt care for it as much,like no one really cares about having images.After I had read this article, it makes me feel different because not only peple with images can work.
-Larisa P
angelicabefore i read the article i thought that it was okay to hire people based on an image and i stll feel it is understandable to hire someone based on what you need in a worker.
StevenBefore I read this article, I thought that only hiring employees who fit there image was totally bogus. I still think its bogus. I feel very justified. It’s a form of discrimination in my opinion.
[Blocked by CFC] daNN\y510i don’t think people sould be hired just cause they fit the image.
i think people sould be hired if they have the right talents for the jop.
alecI don’t think people should hire people to be able to sell more stuff. They should just hire if they have the right experiance.
Jose C.Before i read the article i thought that you should hire people by there image but know i think that people should be hired if they have the right talents for the job
angelicaBefore I read the article I thought that it was okay to hire people based on an image and I stll feel it is okay to hire someone based on what you need in a worker because you need to know if they are able to do the job.
RenzoBefore I read the article, I thought that I didnt really cared about the employees of a store catalog. Now that I’ve read about it, it can be annoying for the employees asking if you want to work for their image.
Stefany SBefore I read the article I felt it was discriminating against people just based on their looks.I still feel like that.
Sabrina T.Before I read this article, I thought that hiring people only for image was wrong, beacause it is discrimination. Now, i realize thats sometimes, you can get sued for it. Companies should hire people without discrimination.
Eva MillerBefore I read the article I flet like each employees was hired with the same criteria as the next. But now I know that people are discriminat to people’s looks when they hire for new employees. If I were in the hiring position, I would hire people that would excell my company.
Harjot J.Before I read the article I didn’t really care or really notice that people get chosen for jobs judging by their looks and ethnicity. I don’t think that this is fair. The qualifications for a certain job should not be how pretty or beautiful a person is, it should depend on there knowledge and job skills.
Jo mammai dont like it
[Blocked by CFC] MarisolBefore I read this article I felt that just hireing good looking people was wrong. After I read the article i felt the same way but I felt it was even more wrong and that it was a type of discrimination.
joshI don’t feel different from how i felt before i read the article. The article is discriminating and it makes people feel insecure about there looks.
lydia c.Well yes and no because i see what the person was trying to do but it was way wrong. Also some peolpe have low self-esteem and not geting that job beacuse of the way they look dosen’t help them
sabrinaBefore i read this article i didnt want to read it because i yhought it was stupid but i dont think that its right to judge people by what they look like.
Before I read this article i really didn’t
care for what jobs asked for. After I had read this article,I really do care for what jobs ask for and look for.
-Manuel C.
ReMmI T.Before reading the article, I thought people only judged on the race of the person. After reading the article, now I know they judge you on everything. Its wrong to judge people on their looks instead of their skill.
Shiane G.Before I read this article I thought it was just about people being hired for jobs. But after i read it i udnerstood that it was about people being accepted to jobs depending on there race and i dont think thats fair they should hire people that know how to do stuff not ones thta look better.
Shiane G.Before I read this article I thought it was just about people being hired for jobs. But after I read it I understood that it was about people being accepted to jobs depending on there race and I dont think thats fair, they should hire people that know how to do the job well not ones that look better.
Priyanka CBefore I read this article ,I used to think that companies hire people with skills not based on their image .After reading this article I knew that some companies only go for the looks not skills.Companies think that people with the image bring in more customers.
Obviously the company is theirs and they will want what they are looking but I think its wrong to judge people and act towards it ,for example only white people were hired to work on the sales floor and Asian ,Hispanic and Black people were sent to work in the stock room . Discriminating races is bad.Its rude but companies don’t care about that ,they only care about their business.
DeAndre TBefore I read the article, I didnt really care about the whole system based on looks involved with hiring people. But seing that i wasnt to be an actor, I fully understand that looks are pretty mucheverything, but you will also need talent and skill. Not everyone fits these expectations, and those that do still may have problems in the longrun of life… For example; as they get older, their looks will dissapate…Eventually, they too will be an average joe… a stick in the mud… A pickle in a jar…
GuillermoBefore I read the article I used to think managers of stores would hire on expertise and not looks. After reading the passage I still think companies should hire based on skill and expertise and not looks. I mean it is a possibility that looks may bring in more consumers and your company will make good profit but it’s discriminating to those who don’t get the job because they aren’t good-looking. I mean I wouldn’t like to get judged just by how I look instead of how I can get the job done.
GCPeople being hired based on their look is wrong but if it is someones store they are allowed to hire who they want. However, only hireing someone based on thier look is wrong I feel that everyone deserves a chance at the job position thats available. What if a person applies for a job has the image you want but doesn’t have the skills your job needs. There is people out there who dont hav the exact look but have the skills. Is it fair to those people? To me most people apply for a job they think they fit for. But over all no one should be turned away beacuse of their image.
Cecelia.BBefore I read the article I though that hiring people that looked good was very wrong and I still feel tha same there is still people that hire people apon there race or how they look and I dont think that ,thats not right every one has the right to have a job no matter who they are
[Blocked by CFC] anais guerrerono disagree i think any kind of persond should be hierd for any job because we are all the same and we all have the capasitty to run any type of job. just because we look one way it dont mean that we can’t keep up
[Blocked by CFC] Alfredo .RThe way i feel about the situation of people hiring other people for jobs because the way they look is bad.I mean i think its messed up how people try looking for jobs so hard and they have hopes n in reality they dont because they aint”fitting the image”i think thats just messed up of how people treat others,i understand that the stores are trying to make $ but making money like that is not only discriminating but against the law!
Isaiah bI feel that it is wrong that people are being hired because of there looks ,but i also understand that companies get so competitive .though they need an edge to compete with other companies.its no excuse though to hire people that look good and have no degrees while the other person who worked hard for degrees and doesnt have a specific look.i think that is wrong that companies do that.
[Blocked by CFC] paolai didnt like this article because to me it was racist. the companies were just lookin for the peoples looks and not their abilities. the companies are discriminating people because of their looks and sometimes that could bring people’s hopes down. most people dont feel good with their looks and if theirs companies like this that just bring them down then theyre never gonna feel good about themselves.besides i think that looks dont matter as long as they know how to do theyre job right than thats all that should matter.
Guadalupe CPeople being hired based on their look is wrong but if it is someones store they are allowed to hire who they want. However, only hireing someone based on thier look is wrong I feel that everyone deserves a chance at the job position thats available. What if a person applies for a job has the image you want but doesn’t have the skills your job needs. There is people out there who dont hav the exact look but have the skills. Is it fair to those people. Overall people should apply for a job that they feel they fit the image for.
[Blocked by CFC] Anissa F.Well before I read “Going for the Looks”, I didn’t know that some store like Abercombie & Fitch are looking for a look.So when I read the story I was in shock,but thats mess up the can’t just hire normal people.I think people will get affent.
Jessica DBefore I read this article, I didnt know that companies hired people for just a certain look. I understand why they do that, to sale their product but I dont think that should be the only look. After reading this article it change my mind a little.They are trying to sale a product. And that look is what draws people in, but it is wrong to discriminate others for their race. jobs should be based on their skills and not just looks.
Jacob gbefore i read the article i belived that companies should be able to hire whoever they want and refuse whoever they want. after reading the article i thin copanies should hire the most qualified person for the posision and not just whoever fits “THE LOOK”.
KendleBefore I read this article I did not agree. I thought it was discrimination. Yet after I read the article I now understand their point of view on “Going For The Look” much more clearly and can see each side. I think you should be able to hire people on the companies image.
Ruben G.Before i reaqd the article i didn’t believe it was fair for companies to treat workers this way.Now that i have read this article, i think the same about hiring people. I don’t have a company but if i did i wouldn’t be hiring people for looks. It discrimantes people and i don’t think that’s fair for the people that really want these jobs.
Montoya NBefore I read this article, I thought it didnt really matter what kind of person was chosen to work. I didn’t think much about looks to be honest. Now that I’ve read the article I don’t think I feel any different. Discrimination is wrong and I will never support it.
[Blocked by CFC] Alexandria & DanaWe feel that they are wrong for what they are doing and they should be ashamed of how they discriminate agaisnt other just because they dont look a certain way… they must have had a bad childhood…
mirnaBefore I read the article I never had noticed that some stores really do hire based on certain looks. I dont think hiring attractive people actually makes a store better and I dont think it lets customers connect to the store because everyone looks like clones. I think its wrong for stores to hire good looking people that dont know what they’re doing and its a waste of time for them since they dont hire more qualified people.
Before I read the article I didn’t know that companies hired based on looks over experience. I think that’s wrong. People should be hired based on their skills.
Maria O.Before I read the article I didn’t know that they discriminated people just because of the way they look. I think it’s wrong to hire someone just on the way they look even if you’re trying to represent an image. You should hire someone based on skills and not how they look. It shouldn’t matter as long as they can get the job done.
[Blocked by CFC] GabrielaBefore I read the article “Going For The Look” I didnt take much importance of this issue. I would notice that different type of people with differnt styles worked at different stores but I never really tok an importance to paying attention to it. After reading the article I realized that this is a world wide issue. That it is wrong to hire people who only fit the “image” that you want. People should be hired on their working skills rather than their looks. I feel this is wrong to do, but its something that is always going to be around. Marketers dont care about peoples feelings, all they really is care is about how much merchandise they are going to sell. Money makes the world go round and all marketers care, is getting their hands on it.
Daniela PBefore I read this artle, I thought that companies have the right to do whatever they want and run their company as they wished. However, now I do feel differently about the situation. I feel that such companies shouldn’t base who they hire on the appearance of the person looking for a job. To me, everybody’s definition of someone who’s “pretty” isn’t always the same, so nobody should be punished for it.
[Blocked by CFC] Maria B.Before i read this article i knew that there was descrimination in the work place, against gender,race,and cultural background, but i had no idea companies would choose to hire someone based on their looks and not on their work experience.Of course companies have the the right to hire who they want because they own the company but its not right.Everyonce deserves the right to succeed in life.
Victor NBefore i read the article, I thought that A and F was a discriminating company. By the time I finished reading the article, I still felt the same way.
Mario VBefore I read the article I felt that it didn’t matter who you hire as long as the job was completed.
After I read this entry, I felt no change in my opinion about hiring because of looks. I would like the job to be finished.
Lynn JaimeBefore I read the article… I wasn’t awaqre of how buisnesses like Abercrombie & Fitch would advertise their brand with using good looking people to project that image. Now that I think of it, it is totally wrong to do so because people should haave equal oppurtunities and be hired equally based on skills, not on appearance. I can’t say that it doesn’t work because honestly when I see good looking employees, it makes me want to enter the store and wear what they wear. It does work but it is still morally wrong.
Job G.Before I read the article I believed that people should not be hired for a job based on their appearance, but rather by their work experience and capabilities. Now that i have read the article I still believe this.
victoriaThe article Going for the Look was a good article it caught my attention. I thought it was goin to be about people discriminating aginst people that doen’t have the jobs look. I really liked the article becaus it really had me thinking if that’s how jobs look at people when there hiring them so that’s what I thought about the article.
