There is a woman on social media who has sparked debate after wearing a controversial outfit to a job interview.
In a now-viral TikTok that has garnered over 5.5 million views, Tyreshia Morgan of Texas shared a video of herself wearing black tailored shorts, a white T-shirt and a white sweater.
While the attire may not seem out of the ordinary, this was the outfit she wore to a job interview — which resulted in her getting turned away by the recruiter upon her arrival.
"The recruiter REJECTED me because of this," Morgan wrote at the top of her video.
She captioned the video, "I cannot believe the recruiter asked me to change my interview clothes, then come back. I look very neat and professional, so no!"
Morgan arrived at her interview and got dress-coded before being told she could be rescheduled for the next day, she relayed in her video. The recruiters even presented her with the option of going home, changing and then coming back to reconvene.
Former recruiter-turned-career coach Chelsea Stokes of New York shared her thoughts on the importance of professionalism and first impressions, which tie into clothing choices.
"I always tell my clients to err on the side of caution with interview attire," Stokes said to Fox News Digital.
"It is better to dress more professionally and land the job than not," she said.
"You have to keep in mind, the hiring team does not know you; this is their very first impression of you."
