A friend of mine found her husband had joined a dating site, so she made a profile with a drop dead gorgeous photo she found online and chatted him up. Convinced him to fly from Brisbane to Perth for a hot weekend. She watched as her pathetic excuse of a husband made excuses about having to travel for work over the weekend and he got on a plane to Perth, only of course there was no one at the airport to meet him like he expected. She was too busy at home reporting his atm cards as stolen so he had no access to any money for a hotel room etc. He is now her ex. I love that story, strong woman your friend x <em>edited by Quizzme on 19/01/2011</em>

There are so many similar job adverts out there... this is one of the worst I have seen and clearly the 'gentleman' who posted this is looking for an escort. However there are lots of other adverts that sound promising but give a limit on 35 years of age, request 'photographs and even state preferred nationality and marital status! Thinking of messing with this one and sending him for a meeting at the One and Only!

think it happens everywhere in all fields all over the world. Except in these cases - you don't have to actually waste your time and stress over the interview - hahah. Imagine going for a PR job in Hollywood - oh dear. But keep looking as to date, i've never (3 jobs down the line) have had to show a picture. I saw lots of ad's for these stupid requests and ignored them. Good luck - chin up and just apply for jobs that don't ask for pics. This experiment may just waste your time and make you feel de-motivated.

For months now I have been trying to find employment. It seems that a lot of ladies are in the same boat. Apparently, despite good qualifications and solid experience in our chosen fields our age and appearance (attaching a 'photograph to the CV is a required by a lot employers here) we are not being chosen for interviews! I have decided to do a little experiment: apply for a job that I am totally unqualified for and attach a models 'photo.... lets see if I get an interview! LoL ;) Busy slightly changing a version of my CV and and then will have some fun choosing a photograph for my new and improved CV.......:) Hahahaha - I like your style!! Good luck, enjoy and do update us with the outcome ;-)
