@twoparentsandapod: The internet says Gen Z is BLOWING interviews by walking in with iced lattes 😂 Personally, showing up prepared seems more important than what's in your cup but idk... #twoparentsandapod #jobinterview #careeradvice #genz #worklife
Am I the only one whose iced coffee is always messy sweating and drippy? I’m kind of embarrassed to bring it anywhere.

I mean hell, roll up with a slice of pizza. The level of unprofessional that shows is crazy. You don’t bring snacks or drinks to an interview lol

I’ve been in recruiting for 25 years and it’s highly unprofessional. At most bring a bottle of water in your bag if you need a sip because your mouth got dry from talking. Nothing more! They will hire the non iced coffee person.

I feel like people that say it’s not a big deal don’t work in the corporate setting. I would never walk into the Fortune 500 I work at to interview with an iced coffee, it’s not a casual thing to get an interview.

Yes. Take spaghetti, a bowl of soup....a fifth of Crown Royal. You show them who's boss.

Absolutely not. Very too casual and also if you need a coffee to ease your anxiety, then you’re not gonna be able to handle the anxiety of the job.

The ice coffee is like wearing sweatpants to a job interview. Also the coffee breath. 😷 hard disagree

why do we need to bring a drink to an interview?? i don’t get it. i’m a recruiter and we do zoom interviews if you do in person do not bring anything other than your purse and resume

I’ve hired many people in my career and GenZ is blowing opportunities for a lot of reasons. There is no reason to bring coffee or anything that distracts from the conversation. You are there to put your best foot forward and discuss your qualifications. Here’s another thing that will impact opportunities….hiring managers search out your social media.

Two Gen Z answering so of course they agree. You can go 30 mins without an iced coffee.

I’ve interviewed countless people and never once did I notice if they brought in a drink. I’m focused on the answers, attitude, professionalism and overall composure.

Absolutely not. And no one should try and argue.

I think knowing not to bring it shows you can adapt to the different levels of decorum that are appropriate for different things. An interview is one of the more formal types of meeting, so you want to max out professionalism. They also offer a coffee a lot of the time, and it’s nice to be ready to accept (or, if they don’t, it’s kinda rude to have a nice drink that isn’t available to everyone in the meeting).
