Notes: This table shows the odds ratios for the relationship between applicant’s appearance and their characteristics and the chances that a CV is selected for a job interview. Odds ratios higher than 1 indicate higher chances for a CV to be selected, odds ratios less than 1 indicate a lower probability, and values of 1 indicate no change in probabilities. Z-scores are reported in squared brackets. Choice combinations denote the number of possible choices, and for each decision, the decision maker have 12 possible choices (instead of 4 compared to LPM); therefore, the number increases by the factor of 3. ^a, ^b, and ^c denote significance at the 1%, 5%, and 10% level, respectively
