Reclutadores debaten si el café helado es impropio en entrevistas

La reclutadora estadounidense Caitlin Wehniainen advirtió que llevar un café helado a una entrevista de trabajo podría percibirse como informal, lo que, según informa la BBC, provocó un debate en línea entre gerentes de contratación, candidatos y expertos en carreras. El debate se originó con un video viral en TikTok en el que una reclutadora recomendaba no llevar café helado a la entrevista; la polémica fue recogida por New York Post y Business Insider. Posteriormente, asesores de etiqueta y especialistas en desarrollo profesional señalaron que la idoneidad del café depende de la cultura de la empresa y del nivel de profesionalismo del candidato, mientras que algunos comentaron que la percepción del gesto, más que el propio café, influye en la evaluación.
