Body weight should not be a factor when considering a job applicant for a job position if the candidate is qualified and capable of performing the job duties. This study of 147 female students from an east Texas university examines responses indicating likeness to recommend a female job applicant, by resume with a photo, to a job description. Participants responded to a "likeliness to recommend" questionnaire regarding a prospective normal weight or overweight job candidate before or after having received body mass index (BMI) awareness, and calculating body satisfaction, to determine whether students' perceptions of weight is affected by the knowledge of BMI awareness and participants own body satisfaction. Results revealed no significant difference in the participants' perceptions of the job applicants regarding the weight of the job applicant, BMI awareness, or body satisfaction of the participant. Levene's test for equality of variance was significant (F = 4.80, df = 145, p < .03) for the normal weight job applicant. In this study, body weight was not a contributing factor for employment selection.
