Woman Mortified After Realizing She Once Ghosted The Man Interviewing Her For A New Job

TikToker @ryliejouett opened up about the awkward encounter in a series of viral videos.

There are two absolutely brutal scenes every one of us has to navigate at some point in our lives, and they're full of rejection and disappointment: the dating scene and job-hunting.

Even worse, sometimes those scenes cross paths.


Rylie Jouett, or @ryliejouett on TikTok, recently discovered what could happen when her dating life came one-on-one with her job search, when she discovered that the person giving her an interview for a job she really needed... was a man she had dated, and ghosted, six years prior.

When she received the offer for the interview and realized who the man was, Jouett shared her woes with TikTok.

"Karma is the nastiest b***h I [have] ever met, because six years ago when I was 19, I ghosted the nicest guy who had the best intentions for me, and tell me why he's the person that's interviewing me for a job that I desperately need."

you seriously cannot write better material #karma #fypシ #ghosting #dating #jobinterview

Fellow TikTokers ate the drama up, with the video quickly garnering more than two million likes.

But the opinions on the situation were widely varied.

Some couldn't help but laugh at Jouett's predicament, and maybe jab at her a bit for ghosting the guy.

Others could feel Jouett's pain and offered her encouragement.

But some were more positive and saw this as an opportunity for a real-life, second-chance lovers rom-com.

Jouett shared in a follow-up video that she had decided to still go on the interview, despite the guy's hesitation.

"When he scheduled the interview and realized who I was, he was like, 'Oh, well, that's really awkward. I don't know if maybe we can hire you at a different location, considering there's a conflict of interest.'"
"And I'm like, 'What? Like, you can't even interview me because we kissed once six years ago on a date? That's just so strange to me.'"

Jouett requested that she and the guy be "adults" about the situation and said she "schmoozed" her way into the interview and was preparing to go in after the video.

After the interview, Jouett finished the series with one more video, stating that the guy had offered the job and scheduled her to begin orientation the following week.

She was considering turning the job down because she was offered only half of the hourly rate that was written in the job description, though it was unclear if the offer was due to the guy's feelings about the situation.

Jouett also had strong feelings in the video toward viewers who had urged her to take the videos down if she had any hope of receiving the job. She explained that she wasn't going to worry about her online presence over a barista job, but she also wasn't going to belittle herself by accepting a job that was less than she was worth.

But there are some offenses that are far too big to overcome, and much less obvious to anyone on the outside looking in, the little things can hugely and hurtfully add up over the years.
