Advice to job hunters : drop the Merlot
Job applicants who drink alcohol are perceived as less intelligent and less hireable by American bosses, a study shows.
In a series of experiments, researchers found that an association with alcohol caused observers to "expect cognitive impairment" in a job seeker.
In one of their experiments, the researchers asked 610 middle managers at U.S. companies to evaluate a video recording of a dramatized interview over dinner between a pair of actors playing a manager and a prospective hire.
In a mock interviews, the manager ordered "Coke" or "the house Merlot."
The job applicant also ordered either the soft drink or the wine.
Regardless of what the manager ordered, job seekers were seen as less worthy of being hired and less "intelligent and intellectual" when they ordered the Merlot.
