'Pretty privilege' in job interviews is a real thing, say experts. But you have more control than you realize.

• TikTok creator Erin McGoff recently shared her top job interview tip: "Look really hot."
• Studies have shown more attractive people are considered better at a job.
• Despite existing laws against bias, "pretty privilege" persists and influences workplace decisions.

A TikTok creator who makes life and career advice content gave her top tip for job interviews in a recent video.

"Look really hot," she said.

Erin McGoff, who has 2.8 million followers, explained this is because of the "halo effect," a psychological phenomenon where positive impressions of a person influence one's opinion of them.

For example, it means that people will assume that someone conventionally attractive is also intelligent and kind.
