00:00I didn't think that I was out of any type of professional dress code.
00:04I thought I looked neat.
00:05Like I said in my post, I would show up to an interview like this.
00:09I felt like the shorts were appropriate.
00:11So, the internet kind of blew up after that.
00:16So, I just got a dress code during an interview.
00:19And then they decided to reschedule the interview with me for tomorrow.
00:22But before they rescheduled, the lady was like,
00:23would you like to come back?
00:24Can I go change and then come back?
00:25And I was like, no.
00:27I almost put on a blazer, but it was so hot that day.
00:30I took the blazer off and put on a cardigan.
00:33And I was like, I looked very neat.
00:35I looked demure.
00:36I was going over the whole like TikTok verbatim.
00:39And I felt confident.
00:41So, I actually met with the recruiter.
00:43We sat down.
00:44We did like an intake, like a briefing, I would say.
00:46She asked me a few questions.
00:47I told her my background and experience.
00:49She really wanted me to meet the manager so we can like get an offer on the table.
00:53So, she went back and spoke with the manager.
00:55And the manager said, I would like to show her around the building,
00:57kind of go over more details of the interview.
01:00But she's in shorts, so I can't do that.
01:02So, she'll have to come back.
01:03And then she said, it's okay.
01:04We'll go ahead and reschedule you.
01:05But once I got home, I uploaded that TikTok.
01:07And then I got off of TikTok.
01:08So, I didn't even really catch when it started blowing up.
01:10And I was just talking to my friend.
01:12And I was like, yeah, recruiter just like basically rejected me because I was wearing this.
01:15And I ended up canceled the second interview.
01:17I wasn't feeling that.
01:18I thought I looked very professional.
01:20Although the shorts were a little bit above like fingertipless,
01:24they weren't like booty shorts.
01:26They weren't shorts that were like all up, you know, just too short.
01:31But I just felt like I looked okay for a professional environment.
01:35It's definitely a difference when you're interviewing versus when you actually get the job.
01:38Because the business casual in the workplace, I've worn those shorts before.
01:41Never had a problem.
01:42I get compliments on my outfits.
01:44They don't see anything wrong with it.
01:46But if it's for an interview, that's where the topic is different.
