Have you ever gotten the feeling that you didn't land a job because the people interviewing you judged you because of all the acne you had? I have heard several stories about this.

I have never lost a job, but I saw some employees at a job I was applying for and they were disgusting. I saw them and just walked out of the interview.

When I was lookiing for my first job I went to Taco Bell for an application but the girl behind the counter was just sick looking and it kind of scared me out of the job.

I have not heard of this before but I guess it would affect your chance of getting a certain job. Some people might think it wouldn't be sanitary if you have acne and are working around foods. It all depends on the employer I guess.

It hasn't happened to me, but then again, appearance has never been an important aspect in any of my jobs. I could see it being a factor with certain reporting/news anchor jobs or other jobs in the public eye.
