Joey Quintero Essay 5/17

        In the article "Going for the Look,but Risking Discrimination" Greenhouse states that "hiring attractive people is not necessarily illegal." I've always believed that a company should be able to hire whom ever they want, when ever they want. So yes, I agree with the fact that they do this to help project the companies image. I know people will argue this quoting the article, that this is a discriminatory act. On one hand I believe it can be mistaken for discrimination due to the fact that they don't hire just anybody.On the other hand we can argue that companies want to hire people according to what best suits the company image.
        Every company wants what's best for them, and if hiring workers that look as if they are very attractive that project the company image is how to benefit them, then why not do it? Think of it this way, what if you were in the owners shoes what would you do? I know for a fact that everybody just wants to be successful and if hiring people like that is what it takes, then you have to do what you got to do.
        Every person has a place where they will fit in and maybe its not a store like Abercrombie & Fitch. Maybe its a sports store or even another clothing store that best suits them. I would never expect to get hired at a place like Abercrombie & Fitch because of the fact that I am always dressing athletic. But, I wouldn't have a doubt that I would get hired at Big 5 because thats who I am. You can never go somewhere  and be something you're not, things just don't work out that way.You should be able to go to work saying this is me, still the same.
        My conclusion, then, is that companies are going to choose whom ever they want to work for them no matter what. It's never really discriminating if they choose somebody that they think will help the company succeed. My advice to everybody would be try to work where you best fit in, so you never have to worry about any of this and you can just be yourself.
