A character is hired for a job solely because of their good looks. Whether or not (usually not) they have the skillset or experience for the job is a non-issue for their employer who just wants some EyeCandy around the workplace. Often times their good looks are a form of job security as in cases where they are glaringly incompetent their employer will often ignore or bear with it for the sake of keeping them around. The employee may therefore be a DitzySecretary.

** A large number of the WWE Divas, who are too often models, dancers or aspiring actresses looking for their big break (see Wrestling/{{Sable}}, Wrestling/StacyKeibler or Wrestling/EvaMarie). Some of them do successfully make the transition to wrestler (like Wrestling/TrishStratus) but too many of them don't. Fandom is divided over whether this is a good thing or not. This trend has died down somewhat from TheNewTens onward, with WWE hiring more actual female wrestlers and requiring newcomers to actually learn to wrestle, but the prettier ones still tend to get the strongest pushes even if there are others who can do better in the ring and on the mic (Wrestling/AlexaBliss and the Wrestling/BellaTwins for example.)
However, the WWE has since moved away from focusing on appearance and [[Fanservice]] ever since Wrestling/TripleH took over for WWE Creative as the focus of the current WWE Women's Division is on more nuanced storytelling and athleticism.
** Wrestling/VinceMcMahon has a well known preference for men with large and/or muscular frames, and signed or pushed several men in this mold over the decades. Sometimes this pays off and he strikes wrestling gold (Wrestling/HulkHogan, Wrestling/BrockLesnar), sometimes it backfires on the promotion's quality because said big men can't deliver in the ring or the mic ([[Wrestling/MinistryOfDarkness Viscera]], Wrestling/TheGreatKhali, Wrestling/LexLuger).

* Candi Skyler's character profile in the second ''VideoGame/TimeSplitters'' game states that it's rumored she failed her Astronavigation class at the academy but still ultimately graduated because of her "cute butt". Her profile in the third game suggests her "cute butt" has gotten her all the way to the rank of Fleet Commander.

Hahari has also hired at least one maid at her mansion, as well as at least one of the teachers at Rentarou's school, with this policy in mind as well.

* ''Series/{{House}}'' hired Cameron because, in his own words, "You look good. It's like having a nice piece of art in the lobby." Cameron is well qualified for the position, but House chose her ahead of better-credentialed candidates because of her looks. In a twist on the trope, House follows up by stating that Cameron, as a beautiful woman, could have easily done well for herself in life (because "the world will hand things to pretty people") instead of working her ass off to become a doctor. House knew that someone willing to shirk an easy life for a much harder one would have HiddenDepths.
