Coffee in workplace? Yes. Coffee when you're going to the interview? Never

No, you don’t show up with an iced coffee in your hand. If anything, the interviewer should be offering you a water or a coffee.

Why specifically iced coffee?? They think it’s okay to turn up with hot coffee instead?

A job interview is like 20-30 minutes. Why do you even need a drink?

Lol and this is a problem how. I’d be more worried if the person has the ability to do the role. Is the coffee coming with the skills 😅. I see too many robots in corporate fields 🤣

I’ve never taken a hot coffee into an interview let alone a cold one. I wouldn’t look weirdly at someone if they did but don’t see why anyone would…

its about my ability to do the job not my damn coffee, I say it says more about the employer then anything. if they wont give you a job over a cold drink imagine what their rules are when working there

It’s an interview, not a chat with a friend. Geez people, it doesn’t make you a bad person to want your coffee, just focus on the interview for an hour and then go get your coffee. Geez 😳

Let them bring the coffee. It’s only going to benefit the others that don’t.

This conversation is specifically targeting young women. It’s unconscious bias.

Drink it before you get there. If you didn’t have time, get one as a treat afterwards. Why is this so hard to understand. It’s unprofessional in the interview itself.

if it will be a long interview and you have a condition where you need to stay hydrated, bring a bottle of water. anything else, leave it behind, or throw it out. I've never failed an interview, probably had nothing to do with it, but who knows

David Christopher :
Any recruiter or leader that doesn't hire someone because they brought an iced coffee to an interview needs to be written up or fired for being bad at their job. You brought someone in for an interview who had the experience/skills and you didn't like their drink choice so you didn't hire them?!?
