Recruiter Asks if Bringing Iced Coffee to Job Interviews Is OK
If we promise not to bring an iced coffee into a job interview, will you promise to pay us a living wage?
Dingo Jackson27Best I can do is off brand k-cups in the break room while you give up your soul for minimum wage.
Alberto Resists 🏳️🌈 🦋17I'd bring my bong instead.
🇨🇦 CATNAP 😼15"If you can still afford an iced coffee I'm afraid you may not fit in with the other underpaid, overworked employees".
Middlerage14Or stop laying us off! bsky.app/profile/midd...
Mandy11Fuck these motherfuckers. I’m lucky to have a job. But I want to apply to jobs now just so I can enjoy Snackables and a Bud Light in the interviews.
Be Jay, Do Crimes.9You wouldn’t NEED a living wage if you’d stop blowing your money on iced coffee and avocado toast and started spending it on bootstraps! Why, when I was your age…
you shouldn't take an iced coffee to a job interview because you shouldn't be trying to get a job. you should be digging an enormous pit or a complex system of tunnels
Sayler’s Snekhouse9“Don’t talk to me until after I have dug my rabbit warren of hidey holes and you have found me crushed beneath the weight of my own subterranean hubris.”
Bearcat Catbear8coffee is very good if you have a lot of digging to do
Spooky6finally, someone brave enough to say the truth
atomic bog5but i need money to buy the land, and the shovels, and the concrete
NineBlack4Dwarf Coded, now we know why one of your sons dreams of nothing but tunnels
Gorg W. Bush-Tender3You know of Kala the tunnel lady right?
how i walk out of a job interview after leaving my empty iced coffee on your desk
Andy48It would’ve been pretty funny if someone walked by and slid a lit cigarette between his fingers
Austin Clemens30This is just elder abuse
(((be kind)))23did he just give us the british two finger salute?
I AM DAD17Im looking for some edibles that leave me Mitch McConnell level of functional
Jim Teeth14It’s amazing what they can do with modern puppetry.
Auburn Blake12Mitch really into the peace sign these days. I like how he flips his fingers around immediately, and they stay there, as he stares at them trying to remember what he is doing.
Meegan🌙 [Beegan🐝]8There is clearly not a single person that loves him.
Muggsy Pogues6“We’ll be back in two and two.”
Susan of Texas5When you’re trying to wave good-bye but can’t remember how many fingers to hold up.
friendOWO🏳️⚧️ || GET ME SPIDERS OF PICTURE MAN3Why is this the funniest peace out I’ve seen in a while?! Maybe because it’s a corpse doing it but I can’t stop giggling

Kitty WH 🚺2Until a few months ago, I used to feel how Mitch looks leaving any interview. I get so nervous that my memory erases as soon as I leave the room. I have no idea how I did, and I’ll be lucky to remember any of what we discussed at a later date. My boyfriend knows I got it, though. Bless him.
Slec2I’ve watched this 20 times in loop. It truly boggles my mind in a hundred different ways, yet it’s also funny
I would *never* drink iced coffee at a job interview. That is so lame—when you could be lining up shots of tequila!
Jim of Pennsyltucky12Sorta like taking a bong to an interview at a medical marijuana store. But who knows? It might work.
Marie-Helene7In my days, employers brought you your favorite kind of coffee when you interviewed. What in the abysmal dysfunction is happening?
Afabulous506I had an interview where I had to tell the person interviewing me that they were asking illegal questions. Enjoy your iced coffee.
Clumsy Lenore6I once secured a job in 2007 when they asked if I had programming experience and I answered “no, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.” Excuse my age ..
They Call Me Gary6🤔 Careful I hear if you say Tequila! three times. Guillermo Rodriguez appears 🤣
Mark Sanchez6“Thanks for the interview, but we’re not doing the question and answer thing. I brought the bottle. Line ‘em up. We go as long as it takes. You fall over first, I’m hired at the pay I want. You go down and I’m outta here.”
You, weak, bringing an iced coffee to an interview Me, strong, answering the first question right as the beat kicks in and singing “it’s time for the percolator”
I’m sorry, but if you bring an iced coffee - or any damn beverage at all - to a job interview, I will shoot you in the face. I will shoot you dead in your fucking face.
Jack Liu12Hate to be the bearer of bad news but if you’re drinking liquids you’ve destroyed your root chakra and it’s already over for you
Caio Almendra4I was willing to do a suicide by Patrick anyway.
Gimme Seltzer3Wait a minute, what if it's a bottle of your own piss? Surely, an exception here....
Serge Bénard (supportive)2I didn't bring a coffee to my interview, my mom brought a coffee to my interview
ECP1Oh thank gob, the sweet release of death.
sorry but we are NOT doing a second round of the inane “iced coffee at a job interview” discourse. please adjust your posting schedule accordingly
Wonkish6The post below this in my TL, heh.
DogDadBod4Well, obviously. It's fall now, so it's pumpkin spice latte at a job interview discourse time.
moodytenure.bsky.social2What if we missed the first round??
Hellanal Boner-Farter1Local man yells at tide
dr peppermint patty11iced coffee: i take pride in what i do, delivering energy to people without loading them up on calories chotiner: and the pumps? three pumps? iced coffee: listen
irishoutsider9NIXON: Iced coffee. Disgusting beverage. Fella didn’t even wear a [expletive] suit. HALDEMAN: [inaudible] NIXON: they’re crisis actors too
did anyone take the iced-coffee-unprofessional, hot-coffee-professional lane yet on the interview thing?
☀️ Starshine32yeah i def saw those lol which feels v Gender if youre going to have this hangup about a type of coffee
Louis28iced coffee is professional, because you drink it with a discreet straw, and hot coffee is unprofessional, because you pour it all over the conference table and then lap it up like an animal
Just Barely Barning On25I would simply perform a tea ceremony during the interview and get the interviewer's position
Andrew Lilley Brinker11Isn’t that the gender take?
a moron in a hurry9Nursing an espresso in a ceramic cup with a saucer for the entire interview. It’s never clear where it came from
Jules8yeah, at least a bit
The only job interview I’ve ever had I called in from a pay phone booth at a bus station in New Zealand so I honestly don’t have much of an opinion on the iced coffee thing.
stevempars.bsky.social2you called? this is an obvious example of privilege that you could even call. you have hobbit feet? in New zealand?
Your friendly neighborhood Autism Creature2I haven't had an interview since 2019.
Occam’s Shaving Cream2It’s funny, I never know where these ridiculous conversations start.
RoLynn1I had a job interview a couple years ago. I had a bottle of water with me, because I go almost nowhere without one. I'm pretty sure one of the people who interviewed me had an iced coffee. I didn't get the job, but they contacted me a couple months later to ask me if I was still interested.
i'm sorry, but if you tell me during the culture fit that you would disqualify a candidate for bringing an iced coffee - or any damn beverage at all - to a job interview, you're disqualified. it's not hard, people.
hailey37adding this to my culture fit interview questions, because apparently this is something you have to filter for...
Cutekittenlady6"I'm not hiring you cause you brought a drink" is the kind of excuse you come up with when you don't actually intend to hire anyone but had to post fake job listings and put on interviews to silence your employees and maintain your stock price.
Proud Anselmo5I have a doctor's note allowing me to bring a bottle of water and a snack into any academic test I take. Go ahead and tell me I'm not a suitable job candidate because of my bottle of water. Go ahead, I dare you. 😁.
David4exactlyyy. like I know it's realistic that some hiring managers will do that. I don't want to work for them!
Cassandrus4I don't even drink coffee, but I kinda want to bring an iced coffee to interviews now just to see what happens. (Alas, I am not desirable enough in the industry to pull off lasting change because of it. Also also, this reminds me that I should probably look at some job listings today...)
thetabletopmisfits.bsky.social1They just need a bullshit reason to gatekeep.
My reaction to the whole iced coffee Discourse: can you imagine giving a fuck if someone brought themselves a beverage?
Lane Stellmaker11Unless they are currently throwing it at me, I do not care what you are drinking. ever.
doc3so listen here's the thing: what if it's extremely clear that they don't have any taste? like what if their order is just disgusting, like, self-harm levels of bad?
Michelle Flamm2I feel like we need a beverage judgement bracket
Steve Bowler2As soon as I heard "as a recruiter" I was like WHOAH there, YOU don't set company culture, and I BET people you recruit FOR bring iced coffees into work. 🙄
Mithras - Left Justified and Ancient1I've shown up to an interview (not taking it; being part of the technical reviewer of the applicant's skills) with a Red Bull and a pot of tea. I don't mean separate interviews there. I had a 12 oz Red Bull and 24 ounces of tea.
Dave's not here, man!1Yeah, but how do they feel about pineapple on pizza?
