Notes: This table shows the relationship between applicant’s appearance and their characteristics and the chances that a CV is selected for a job interview. Turkish origin, headscarf, and photo female are dummy variables if the applicant is ethnic Turkish, wears a headscarf, or is female respectively. Position refers to the order of appearence of a CV within the occupation. Robust standard errors clustered at the level of the applicant’s photo are in parentheses. All regressions are estimated using LPM (linear probability model). ^a, ^b, and ^c denote significance at the 1%, 5%, and 10% level, respectively
