Appropriate interview outfits, according to TikTok

While many TikTok users were happy to learn that the interview was rescheduled, the response on @mtyreshiadaily's feed was almost unanimous, as many social media users were left in disbelief after seeing her shorts.

User @cruzita1011 shared:

"And in San Antonio?! Tyreshia, we have the most lax business casual allowances because of the heat and the vibe BUT shorts are never appropriate for an interview. Bless the second chances!"

User @thawhole9 added:

"Offering to reschedule was very generous of them.

User @stylemegz05 felt a bit confused, asking:

"Maybe I’m just old but when were shorts ever okay for an interview?"

"HR here… the fact they allowed you to change and have a redo says a lot. It would have been an immediate no here."

User @alien_pocket posed a question:

"😭 Nah, they were being too nice with the rescheduling lmao. Like why would you think that was proper to wear SHORTS to an interview?"

User @jonilink had a little advice for the TikToker, adding:

"To request to reschedule means they see something on your resume they like. Don’t make them unsee it due to your clothing choices."

Young content creator rubs the interviewer the wrong way

In another Briefly News article, a young man intentionally annoyed a recruiter during an interview just to create content.

When he was asked after the interview if he had any questions, the content creator asked about a salary increase, adding that he was experienced and that what he was being offered was below his worth.
