No. Can they not hire you for being fat. Legally no. Are you going to say they don't do it? You would be naive to think appearances don't matter. You can't fight human nature. I'm kind of the posture that i'm when i'm going to a job fair....when I talk to someone....would they let me date their daughter? You have to be that whole person....."appearances" do matter. Always have always will....especially with loads of applicants.
True. You have to wait till you're the 20+ year silverback before you can walk through the terminal with 9 month belly, disheveled, hat tilted sideways Ralph Cramden style for that.
