Woman Mortified After Realizing Camera Was Recording While She Mocked Company's Interview Question

Woman Mortified After Realizing Camera Was Recording While She Mocked Company's Interview Question

The job market is rough—it always has been, but recent changes have made it that much harder for many. With tech constantly changing, the application and interview process has changed quite a bit as well.

Paper applications and in-person interviews have given way to things like websites and professional development skills tests. Not long ago, I was asked to hand-draw a picture of an octopus fighting a pirate as part of an application process.


The position had nothing to do with art, pirates, or octopi.

TikTok user Chaylene Martinez, who goes by @chayjordan_, is a young woman on the hunt for a new job. She was asked to send in video of herself answering some questions as part of the application and interview process.

Chaylene did what many of us have done when faced with a task we were unsure about. She phoned a friend.

She had a casual chat with the friend about the question; joking, applying lip color in preparation for being on camera, climbing her furniture, and taking a few playful jabs at the interview process while the two worked out how she would word her answer.

Unfortunately, while all of this was going on the employer's system was already recording video.

Michelle realizing the system was already recording went about as awkwardly as you might think—which made it PERFECT for TikTok.

She posted the video, which has since been viewed almost a million times.

def not getting the job. sorry skywest #hireme #flightattendant #skywestairlines @SkyWest Airlines


Normally in the world of internet, almost a million views is a great thing. Not for Chaylene—at least not in the short term.

The video got back around to her boss, who apparently didn't know Chaylene was in the market for another job. Lots of people—myself included—continually apply for new jobs regardless of their employment status.

They're always keeping their eyes open for the next opportunity for greatness.

Some bosses, however, find the practice "disloyal" and people have been known to get fired over it.

So yeah, Chaylene's not having a great go at things right now, but she looks great while totally flubbing it!

And while many championed for SkyWest to hire her and take her feedback into account, this isn't going to be one of those internet stories with a twist happy ending.

According to Chaylene, she's been rejected in the most 2022 way:

We wish her good luck in her quest for employment ... and we also maybe kind of agree about that question.

We're totally #TeamChaylene over here.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.

MAGA Rep Slammed After Calling For Mamdani To Be Stripped Of His Citizenship And Deported Over Rap Lyric

Tennessee Republican Andy Ogles was called out after he shared a letter he sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi urging her to denaturalize and deport New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani over a lyric in a rap song Mamdani released in 2017.

Mamdani ran a campaign centered around economic populism, arguing that the city, a global financial center, has grown unaffordable for everyday residents, citing soaring rents and grocery prices, and outlining policies aimed at reducing the cost of living.
