A woman's outfit at a job interview shocks the internet: “How can she think that's OK?” | Trends

In a video uploaded to TikTok, Tyreshia insisted that she did nothing wrong by wearing black shorts to the interview. She also gave her viewers a full-length look at her outfit and claimed she was “dress-coded” at the interview.

“The recruiter rejected me because of this!” the TikToker wrote in a text overlay of her video, which shows the outfit that got her sent home from the interview. Despite having the choice to change and return, Tyreshia refused to do so on principle.

“So, I got branded during an interview just because of the way I was dressed. And then they decided to reschedule my interview until tomorrow,” she explained. “But before they reschedule, the lady asked if I wanted to come back. Change my clothes and then come back? And I just said no,” she added.

Her video went viral on TikTok and reached X (formerly Twitter), where it received a whopping 34 million views.

In the comments section of her TikTok video, Tyreshia defended her outfit. “I can't believe the recruiter asked me to change my clothes for the interview and then come back. I look very groomed and professional so no!” she wrote. However, few social media users agreed with her.

In X's case, there was general agreement that her outfit was the wrong choice for a job interview.

“Office appropriate and interview appropriate are two different things. She just learned her lesson,” wrote one X user. “Guys, don't wear shorts to a job interview. What are we doing here?” said another.

“If she came to an interview with me wearing shorts, there would be no rescheduling,” said one X user. “I'm more interested in why she thinks it's OK and even makes a video about it,” said one user.

Some people also voiced their support. “Counter argument: Performative professionalism is an archaic concept that only exists to feed power-hungry recruiters into their hollow existence. Unless the outfit is actively offensive or sexualized, clothing should only matter if it's a forward-facing job,” said one X user.
