My coffee is a problem, but the recruiter being 25 minutes late isn't a problem at all.

I genuinely don't understand why they care, also why is an iced coffee worse than a regular coffee?

As a millennial idc if you bring a coffee as long as you’re not late. 🤷🏻‍♀️Just doesn’t seem like a big deal.

If you show up with iced coffee in hand, that tells me you planned well enough for a stop and still showed up on time. It also shows me you care enough to be alert and prepared for the interview going a longer time. ~a xennial who has interviewed hundreds of people over a decade and half.

Interviewer here 🙋‍♀️if you show up early/on-time with a iced coffee or any drink, they tells me you planned well enough to be able to stop and get it. There isn’t any issues with bringing a drink, if you are on time. If you are late, and show up with a fresh iced drink, then that speaks otherwise.

If they are tripping off of iced coffee, imagine what other small things they will be tripping off of 😬

As a hiring manager it would NEVER have even crossed my mind to care about someone drinking what they drink ON A DAILY BASIS as it is.

push back, change the rules but if you're not the one doing the hiring you need to follow their rules first so you can make the change. For me it was wearing jeans on Fridays long before casual Friday was even a hint of an idea. Woman in the office called me difficult, immature and bosses pet because I got away with it. When I interviewed I wore the perfect gosh she's so sweet suit. I was 17 and just begun a very long history of making changes.

I’m a neurodivergent elder millennial, and I’ve always HATED the “that’s just how things are done” ideology. I don’t think I’d bring an iced coffee to an interview, but I also don’t think I’d blink at someone else doing it. I generally always have at least one comfort beverage with me.

Some people are going as far as saying you can’t bring water or a water bottle? Like stopping someone from drinking a basic human need? Be fr

As a millennial who has hired/ interviewed, I didn’t care about the coffee/drink. I do care about how you’re dressed. Not dress clothes per-say; your clothes should be mended/best you can do, not stink or have fresh dirt

I feel a dimension to this discussion is being overlooked, specifically by the ppl who have leverage in the hiring process. I’d welcome that iced coffee— in fact, if I were a hiring manager, I’d comment on it first thing, sorta like an icebreaker (pun intended). I’d probably judge your order more so than its presence

So is black coffee okay? Why is she going after ice coffee? I'm Norwegian and no one would care if I brought a coffee

But for fun. :
It’s the same as the old “you can’t wear hats in class” thing. It’s just about power and control. My parents used to tell me to take my hat off at the dinner table and I finally asked why they thought it was disrespectful. They couldn’t give me a coherent answer and got mad. By now you know my parents are boomers but they no longer care about hats at the dinner table.

As someone who just had 2 interviews this week (wish me luck😁) I didn't bring any drinks to my interviews. To me, it looks too casual, but people can do as they wish.

Why does this totally illogical social rule exist? To see if you possess the (crucial) skill of observing and following unspoken rules. That's the whole reason

how does a drink stop them from being a good candidate?

Millennial manager here. At an interview, if you need to bring coffee to an interview then you can’t handle high pressure environments because you need a kick to just show up.

Girl I love you so much. Coffee doesn’t hinder our job, neither does our hair color or piercings. Our skill set is what makes or breaks us

my thing is. okay, you want to say bringing iced coffee to an interview is unprofessional. fine, let's pretend it is (it's not, but let's pretend). what makes hot coffee so much more professional?

My incredibly radical idea is that I would not even bat an eye on what they have to drink and rather focus on asking questions regarding the job itself, challenges I encounter and have encountered, and potential issues that might arise.
