A woman on TikTok asked her followers if not wearing makeup hurts female job interviewee's chances when job hunting, after she was turned down for a job.
A New York-based millennial on TikTok asked her followers if not wearing makeup hurt female job seekers in a recent video that drew thousands of comments. Melissa Weaver, a former recruiter, shared her recent interview experience getting turned down for a top-tier role in HR at a tech company despite being well qualified for the role. "The interview went so well. Every question she asked I had a great answer for," Weaver shared in videos picked up by Fortune.
Thousands of commenters felt the remark was discriminatory and sexist. "That honestly feels like discrimination. Not hiring you based on your looks?" one top comment read. "It's wild she said that in an email to you-- this would never be said to a man," another person posted. Both comments received over 25,000 likes in agreement. One person identifying herself as an employment lawyer in the comments section advised Weaver to seek legal counsel for the matter.
