Dress to Impress? Not in Shorts, Says Company to Job Candidate

In a bizarre incident, a woman named Tyreshia faced rejection because of her shorts in an interview.

She has posted a video of herself wearing a white top, a cardigan, and black shorts. She mentioned that after appearing for the interview in that outfit, the recruiter rescheduled her interview.

When Casual Goes Too Far: 

Sharing the video on X, she wrote, "Wearing shorts to an interview is absolutely insane. I'm honestly surprised they offered to reschedule." Her video has gained a lot of attention on social media and netizens have mixed reactions. A few are on her side while others feel the recruiter was right. 

Netizens Are Irked With Her Choice:

Here's what netizens have to say, supporting her a user wrote, "That's literally a professional outfit I don't see the issue." 

Criticizing her look, a user commented, "Everyone keeps talking about the heat, SHES IN A KNIT SWEATER a mid-length skirt and sleeveless top would have been ideal. A mid-length sleeveless dress??? You don't have to wear trousers and blazer. Not only are the shorts unprofessional, but the outfit don't even match." Another user called out her choice and wrote, "Dress for the company you are interviewing with. It's not that damn hard. This would probably be fine for a more casual work environment ex. But maybe not a traditional office setting. Regardless I'd probably never wear shorts to an interview but yea."
