#HiredbymyGoodLooksandOozingSexAppeal

 In 2017, I secured my first position as a Fly-in/Fly-out Worker here in West Australia. Back then, finding employment in the mining industry was a formidable task, and I was genuinely grateful for the opportunity.

Around three months into the job, a recruiter reached out to me regarding another job prospect. I informed her that I had just recently started with Orica. To my surprise, she responded with a somewhat mocking tone, asking, “How did you manage to secure a job at Orica?”

It was at this moment that I felt like I was facing discrimination due to my employment with one of West Australia’s premier mining companies. In a light-hearted response, I casually mentioned to her that I was hired by my Good Looks and Oozing Sex Appeal.

This amusing exchange led to the creation of the hashtag, #HiredbymyGoodLooksandOozingSexAppeal.
