A woman on social media has sparked debate after wearing a controversial outfit to a job interview.
In a now-viral TikTok that has garnered over 5.5 million views, Tyreshia Morgan of Texas shared a video of herself wearing black tailored shorts, a white T-shirt and a white sweater.
While the attire may not seem out of the ordinary, this was the outfit she wore to a job interview — which resulted in her getting turned away by the recruiter upon her arrival.
AVOID ASKING THESE QUESTIONS WHEN CONDUCTING AN INTERVIEW; THEY COULD GET YOU INTO TROUBLE
“The recruiter REJECTED me because of this,” Morgan wrote at the top of her video.
She captioned the video, “I cannot believe the recruiter asked me to change my interview clothes, then come back. I look very neat and professional, so no!”

Morgan arrived at her interview and got dress-coded before being told she could be rescheduled for the next day, she relayed in her video.
The recruiters even presented her with the option of going home, changing and then coming back to reconvene.

She went on to showcase the outfit she wore, highlighting the high-rise tailored black shorts from Target — which she linked in her bio.
Her viral video has caused a stir on social media as several users came to her defense, while the majority of others found the shorts to be an unprofessional choice for the interview.

Morgan wore a pair of shorts to her interview and thought the outfit was very “neat,” but users chimed in with their own reviews of the choice of attire. (@mtyreshiadaily /TMX)
“Ma’am, you look cute! Why can’t we get an update on these old dress codes?!?! It’s not the 1950s anymore,” one user wrote.

“You should see the stuff [I’ve] seen people wear to interviews. There’s nothing wrong with this in warm weather,” another person commented.
An overwhelming number of social media creators called out the TikToker for her choice of wardrobe and even found the recruiter’s advice to be a teaching moment.

“And in San Antonio?! Tyreshia, we have the most lax business casual allowances because of the heat and the vibe BUT shorts are never appropriate for an interview. Bless the second chances!” one social media commented.
Human resources professionals even jumped in on the conversation supporting the recruiter’s actions.

“HR here … the fact they allowed you to change and have a redo says a lot. It would have been an immediate no here,” one TikTok user stated.
“Former recruiter/HR here. It’s a hard ‘no reschedule’ if you don’t see the issue. They were being kind,” another shared.

The choice of attire prompted others to mention the need for career prep in school and college so that applicants have a better understanding of what to prepare for and expect from a job interview environment.
“This is why career preparedness is essential,” another user added.

Former recruiter-turned-career coach Chelsea Stokes of New York shared her thoughts on the importance of professionalism and first impressions, which tie into clothing choices.

“I always tell my clients to err on the side of caution with interview attire,” Stokes said to Fox News Digital.
“It is better to dress more professionally and land the job than not,” she said.
“You have to keep in mind, the hiring team does not know you; this is their very first impression of you.”

Once people are hired and gain a better understanding of the culture in which they work, then it may be OK to take more liberties in attire, depending on the work culture at a given company, she indicated.
A person’s specific role in a company is also a factor in terms of what can or cannot be worn in an interview and on the job.

While it is important to feel comfortable during an interview and not be tense, Stokes said people have not yet “earned the right” to be comfortable.
“Once you get the job and show what you can do, you can likely dress comfortably. In an interview process, you have to put your best foot forward,” she said.
Stokes also addressed the mindsets of Gen Z and Gen X when it comes to business attire for work, saying that in her opinion, there is no “right” or “wrong” or hard-and-fast rules.
“Wearing shorts to work isn’t objectively ‘wrong’ or ‘right.’ To Gen Z, it’s probably more acceptable, whereas to a Gen X, maybe not so much,” Stokes added.

Morgan has garnered over 5.5 million views on her viral TikTok video that shows off her job interview outfit — but most users are not coming to her defense. (@mtyreshiadaily/TMX)
People should also think about what others’ perceptions of an outfit may be.
“My thought is, why take the risk if this isn’t something everyone is OK with?” she said.
“It doesn’t hurt to change to a longer skirt, pants or jeans. We have to be careful to not insist on our own way just because we think something is right. At work, you’re dealing with different people and varying opinions,” she told Fox News Digital.
“Just because you view your work attire as appropriate doesn’t mean everyone else will feel that way.”

Good Samaritan sees shooting victim on road in Carson, provides life-saving care
![Good Samaritan sees shooting victim on road in Carson, provides life-saving care Good Samaritan sees shooting victim on road in Carson, provides life-saving care](https://ktla.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/08/snapshot-2024-08-25T085228.891.jpg?w=900)
While one man was shot and losing blood rapidly on the streets of Carson, another was prepared for the occasion and administered aid that first responders called life saving.
Around 12:20 a.m. on Sunday, former Army medic Johnny Carabajal was driving home from a fishing gear shop on Wilmington Avenue near Carson Street when he saw a man and woman on the ground in the middle of the road.
Carabajal pulled his vehicle over and the woman screamed out to him, telling him that the man on the ground was shot. After observing a gunshot wound to the leg, Carabajal went back to his vehicle and took out a tourniquet that he happened to have with him.
“I had a tourniquet in my car, it’s actually a tourniquet I’ve been working on for the past couple of years,” Carabajal said. “I grabbed it, I ran up and saw the hole in his leg and it was bleeding bright red blood so I knew it needed a tourniquet.”
After applying the tourniquet, the victim asked Carabajal, “did you just save my life?”
First responders arrived shortly after and transported the victim to a local hospital, where he was treated for his injuries
No additional details were given in regards to the shooting.

Trump meets with Rachel Morin family at border, Maryland mom of 5 murdered by illegal immigrant suspect
![Trump meets with Rachel Morin family at border, Maryland mom of 5 murdered by illegal immigrant suspect Trump meets with Rachel Morin family at border, Maryland mom of 5 murdered by illegal immigrant suspect](https://newspub.live/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Morin-Trump.jpg)
Former President Trump on Friday met with the family of Rachel Morin, the Maryland mother of five who was brutally attacked and murdered, allegedly by an illegal immigrant suspect from El Salvador in August 2023.
Trump’s visit to the southern border and meeting with the Morin family came during his campaign stop in Cochise County, Arizona.
“The reason I came here today and I accepted the invitation is because I really want our words to be heard, and I really want you to take to heart what we’re saying,” Patty Morin said. “We’re not here for a political stand, although we are. We’re here because we’re losing our moms, our daughters, our children, to criminals, and that shouldn’t happen. We should be taking care of our country, our people, and the only way I think that’s going to happen is if President Trump is reelected as president.”
Patty went on to share the story of how she came to learn that her daughter had been murdered.
“We should be taking care of our country, our people, and the only way I think that’s going to happen is if President Trump is reelected as president.”

“Rachel was 37 years old. She had five children. She worked. She owned a small business. She worked very hard to support her family, and the trail that Rachel ran daily was a trail that we as a family would walk over the last 25 that we’ve lived in Maryland,” she began, referring to the Ma & Pa Trail in Bel-Air, Maryland, that Rachel ran on regularly, as she was on the evening she was killed.
“It’s a very safe, small trail. Very public, very open. Moms with baby carriages go down the trial. It’s very safe,” Patty said.

She was in Kentucky at the time of Rachel’s death, visiting family because her grandchild had just passed away, when she got a call from a Maryland detective saying they found Rachel’s body.
“They found my daughter’s body, and when they found it…it just recently came out that she was brutally beaten, raped and then stuffed into a drain pipe,” Patty recalled.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT INDICTED FOR RACHEL MORIN’S MURDER IN ‘CRUCIAL STEP’: FAMILY LAWYER

“We are 1,008 miles from the border, and because of this open border, we’ve had not just my daughter, but we’ve had two in the same county … where illegal immigrants have come in and have caused rape and murder of our citizens,” she said.
In June of this year, Harford County Sheriff Jeffery Gahler announced the arrest of Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, a 23-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador, in Morin’s murder.

Martinez-Hernandez was apprehended in Tusla, Oklahoma, and faces charges of first-degree murder, rape and kidnapping, in connection with Morin’s death.
Authorities have labeled him a potential serial killer after his alleged involvement in a slew of crimes against women in Central America and the United States, and prosecutors are seeking a life sentence without the possibility of parole for the suspect.
RACHEL MORIN MURDER: MARYLAND POLICE TIE CRIME SCENE DNA TO LOS ANGELES ASSAULT, HOME INVASION

Investigators also tied DNA found at the scene of Morin’s murder to DNA found inside a Los Angeles residence after a home invasion in March of last year.
“Once in our country, and likely emboldened by his anonymity, he attacked a 9-year-old girl and her mother during a home invasion in March of 2023 in Los Angeles,” Gahler said at the time of the suspect’s arrest. “And as everyone I believe is aware, that was our first DNA match linking Rachel’s case to the one in Los Angeles.”
MARYLAND SHERIFF’S ‘GUT’ SAYS RACHEL MORIN WAS ‘STALKED’ BY SUSPECT BEFORE HER MURDER

Despite the DNA match linking the two cases, however, authorities were unable to find an identity match for the DNA samples collected from either crime scene because it was not previously logged in the national Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) system, where authorities log DNA samples of offenders arrested in the United States.
“We are 1800 miles from the southern border,” Gahler said in June. “And American citizens are not safe because of their failed immigration policies.”

Police warn public of fake QR codes found on Redondo Beach parking meters
![Police warn public of fake QR codes found on Redondo Beach parking meters Police warn public of fake QR codes found on Redondo Beach parking meters](https://ktla.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/08/anaheim-police-dept.-4-9.png?w=900)
Authorities are warning the public after fake QR codes were discovered on parking meters across Redondo Beach.
Stickers with the fraudulent QR code were discovered on approximately 150 parking meters along the Esplanade and Riviera Village areas, according to Redondo Beach police.
City officials only work with two companies to collect parking fees — ParkMobile and PayByPhone. ParkMobile uses a QR code that directs users to the ParkMobile App.
PayByPhone can accept payments on their app or on their official website.
The fake QR codes were much larger and placed directly underneath or next to the official city-approved stickers.
When scanning the fake stickers, users are taken to a website labeled “poybyphone.online” and prompted to input their their location and payment information. The official website is “paybyphone.com.”

City officials said all fraudulent QR code stickers have since been removed.
“If anyone feels that they have been defrauded, please contact the Redondo Beach Police Department at your earliest convenience to file a report,” authorities said.
The public can call the Redondo Beach Police Department at 310-379-2477.
