@haliijama: why are we acting like the job you're hoping to get has to be the number one priority in every part of your life??it's an exchange of skills and money. nobody is doing you a favor by hiring you, they're paying for work they need done. as someone who left corporate, started my own business, and does the hiring now: bring the iced coffee or don't. i don't care. i care whether you can do the job and be professional 😭☠️ #jobsearch #careertok #genz

People thinking they’re fighting the good fight against capitalism with their $8 corporate coffees is hilarious.

“I care whether you can do the job and be professional.” The fact that someone literally cannot be without an iced coffee for a 30 minute interview means they’re likely are lacking in professionalism.

that is terrible advice especially to people who really need a job in this market. do i feel anything about anyone bringing a coffee or a matcha or a kadak chai? no mate idc. but if you are a young grad or unemployed you unfortunately have no leverage in this situation. if you're employed and simply interviewing to test waters, sure do whatever, but if you really need a job, please don't give these recruiters more variables to make unwarranted judgements on you.

This is a privilege that the average person does not have, and that is exactly why influencers/content creators are unrelatable.

It’s number 1 priority for a lot of people.

I understand the sentiment but some societal norms simply don’t give job seekers the bargaining power. We can surely fight our way over this but in the meantime do what u gotta do to get the job.

it doesn't have to be the number one priority in your day. but just know you're not the number one priority in their day either. they get a quick snapshot of who you are and they're putting that snapshot up against the snapshots of the other people who are trying to get this job.

I hope yall heard her. If an interview for you, is just another errand in your day, go ahead and get two coffees infact. Of course if that interview is the difference btw you and homelessness and starvation pls abstain frm coffee the day before just in case. Everybody’s got their priorities

This is far too causal. And if I was the interviewer, my question would be, why not have the coffee before or after ? Why does it HAVE to be during the interview ?

its different when you need the job to feed your family and keep a roof over your head and every job you're qualified for keeps turning you down

as someone who used to conduct tons of interviews and hire ppl, the only times ive rejected candidates is from inexperience on their resume and 1 person ripped a vape in my face mid sentence. ive had ppl bring in coffee/drinks, dress odd, swear, mess up answers. idc about any of that. it comes down to.. how much effort is it going to be to train you and do you seem reliable. the vape thing was just nasty and deeply rude imo.
