Law graduate says she can't get a job because she's 'too attractive'

A law graduate claims she can't get a job because bosses don't want to be distracted by her good looks.

According to London based Irina Kova "being beautiful gets in the way" of her career.

Despite having a a law degree and plenty of work experience she has struggled to nail down full time graduate work.

The employment dry spell has led the 33-year-old to believe that male bosses don't take attractive females seriously.

In a bid to be viewed on a level with less attractive potential colleagues, Irina has ditched her heels and started wearing glasses.

She also only wears minimal makeup.

But her efforts are not enough according to her agent, who has suggested dying her hair darker to avoid negative associations with her blondeness.

The Russian born woman has even quit jobs due to comments about her appearance, she has claimed.

Irina told  The Sun : “Women don’t trust you and men don’t see you as a professional.

“Men never want to hire me. I get it – that’s because they don’t want to be distracted at work.

"They would rather surround themselves with less attractive women who won’t take their mind off the job in hand.”
