How important are one's looks when it comes to getting a job

Recently I went to an interview for a position as an office clerk. I wore a modest outfit for the interview. While at the place I saw another women waiting outside to be interview. She wore a 'super mini' skirt and a tight blouse that exposed her 'boobs'. I though to myself "oh my gosh, why do you have to dress like that for an interview". Amazinginly though she got the job. What it is that the employer wanted in an office clerk? Do you believe a person's looks can get them a job with proper qualifications?

It depends of what kind of office it was and who was the interviewer. If the office caters mostly to men, maybe they wanted soemone to attract their clients. As much as we would not like to think so, sexy sells and men don't always think with the brain.
