She’s too hot to hire.
A brunette bombshell has been left bereft after interviewing for 50 jobs and failing to find gainful employment.
Alê Gaúcha, 21, has been pounding the pavement looking for a role as a nanny after finishing up a childcare course three years ago — but she says she’s realized that her curves have drawn more attention than her qualifications.
“I would go in confident, present my certificates, talk about everything I had learned, but no one ever got back to me,” Gaúcha told NeedToKnow.
“At first, I thought it was due to lack of experience, but after so many attempts, I started to believe the reason was something else,” the Brazilian beauty added.
Gaúcha’s good looks may be particularly problematic in the nannying industry, where wary women are reluctant to hire hot help for fear that their husbands might stray.
“I wanted to show my professional side, but it seemed like no one could see it,” the unemployed stunner moaned.
The aspiring nanny is seemingly suffering from the opposite of “pretty privilege,” whereby conventionally attractive people gain financial or social benefits via their appearance.
However, Gaúcha’s hasn’t let her looks go to waste.
While job hunting, the Brazilian began posting pictures online, and soon saw her social media following explode.
Now, she’s making money as a content creator and says it’s a fulfilling endeavor — if not her original plan.
“Even if I don’t practice [nannying] today, the nanny I once was is still with me,” she declared. “I still feel connected to that experience because I dedicated myself and prepared for it.
“On one side, I was looking for stability; on the other, I found freedom.”
