I came across an argument recently, some persons believe that it is a lot easier for beautiful or attractive persons to secure a job compared to others, while there are does who believe looks don't matter but as long as you have all that it takes to fit that position, then you are good to go. Personally I feel it depends on the company and as well as the position you are going for. There are some companies that do not mind the level of your IQ, they just need someone attractive to act as the face of the company in some ways, while others do the main work.
Is it easier for beautiful people to secure jobs?

It is normal especially if that good-looking applicant has skills the company needs, if not, it is a useless personality. What matters this time is skill, not face. But if she or has a creative in that office, there is no problem with getting hired.
The attractiveness of a candidate can sometimes influence a hiring decision, but in most cases, companies prioritize qualifications when choosing the right person for the job.
Looks give a person the advantage of impression on first appearance. But that is not enough. It could be an edge with certain jobs.
The physical looks for a person could be a very strong selling point for that person when candidates attend being considered for jobs. Attractive people are considered and favoured if there is a tie amongst candidates that are competent.
Good looks would you some advantage when there is a tie on who to pick for the job.
I would rather employ someone that is looking good and is averagely qualified than someone that is excellently qualified but looks awful.
This thinking would get people with good looks entitled. Looks can help but it is not enough to sustain jobs.
