Well, she IS fat. They were probably worried about missing food in the break room. I mean, once you have that problem fixed, you don't want to invite it back.

Hmm.
I'm guessing that shiny attitude came through during the interview loud and clear. It's pretty common to have your developers/programmers look like a bunch of rejects from wardrobe testing. It's the skills that matter, not the hairstyle and the cut of clothing. Of course, maybe this is that rare company that believes its developers should look like they are reporting to work at IBM in 1980. |

My guess is that there's more to the story - probably her behavior during the interview, and not what she was wearing. Sometimes they are looking for a reason to fire or not hire you...she might have helped them out. Or just made the mistake of applying for job with a company that believes in staffers dressing in business attire and actually mean it. |

The outfit might be a little casual for a job interview, but I don't see anything that would make my Spidey senses tingle.
I also doubt very much that the company would tell her why exactly she wasn't selected. That part of her story seems "off". If the company did actually tell that to the recruiter, that seems like a throwaway excuse. That said, Oberlin College - and the town of Oberlin in general - is full of special, unique snowflakes and if that attitude came through in the interview I could see the company looking elsewhere for a better workplace fit. In any case, posting her little rant on social media while seeking a job is just stupid. Good luck now, honey.

Quoted:
I will take her comments at face value. I don't see a problem with her attire. She looks like all the geeky female computer nerds on those highly-realistic cop shows who look like they just came from the used clothing shop. But that is presented as the cultural standard. How is her dress not in line with programming? I don't know anything about the biz, but is anything more than bizcaz necessary? We do objectify women. We do like sexy. But we also draw some very arbitrary lines not to be crossed. These lines are often indecipherable. I don't see her rant as particularly feminist. If I were her, I'd be pissed, too.  Very well thought out and articulated, thanks for sharing with the class I'm sorry. Did I use too many "big words?" I have grown children and 3.9 grandchildren. I would like to think that by the time my granddaughters enter the workforce, we will be past the era where women are held to a different standard than men when it comes to dressing for employment. A guy could show up with a mis-matched tie, a shirt that's never seen an iron, khaki pants from 15 years ago and unshined shoes and nothing would be thought of it in this situation. Double standards are a reality. Let the marketplace determine their compensation by all means. But let good sense have a part in the hiring process. Is there more to the story? I bet there is. But the discussion is based only on her account and her picture. |

Annnnd her story starts to change under scrutiny;
She told me that On Shift would love to hire me based on my technical skills and personality, but that they were not going to. These are the reasons she cited:
1) I “looked more like I was about to go clubbing than to an interview” 2) I “had a huge run in my tights” 3) I was late. I had told the hiring director beforehand that I would probably be a few minutes late, and then explained to get when I arrived that I had gotten mildly lost on my way). Never mind my being late to the interview, 'cause sexism, damnit! Wonder how much more it'll change. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
