The candidate is prepared. But there’s something chilling about this prospective employee: the coffee. Employers may be letting good applicants slip away over an iced latte, judging from a social media debate over whether bringing a beverage to a job interview signals a lack of professionalism. According to article published on Yahoo, a corporate recruiter warned on TikTok that arriving with an iced coffee makes an interview look like another errand squeezed between shopping stops. Other critics raised concerns about condensation on conference tables and noisy slurping. Some job seekers see a different warning sign: an employer willing to judge their capabilities by the contents of a plastic cup. The article described pushback from candidates who questioned whether they would want to work somewhere with such exacting beverage standards. For employers, that raises a recruiting risk worth considering. Screening out someone who could do the job because they brought coffee may leave the company with an immaculate conference table and an unfilled position. There are practical compromises. Marketing professional Benjamin Chipman recommended keeping a drink in the left hand so the right stays dry for a handshake, and avoiding rattling ice or slurping, according to the article.
