Lots of things to think about here: the undeniable (yet always denied) role physical appearance plays in assessment, the obvious gendered nature of this case and the specific role makeup as a signifier of effort or commitment on behalf of the candidate. Have a watch of this TikTok from the candidate herself and let me know what you think of the question she asks at the end. NB: added twist to this story is that the candidate was going for a VP of HR role, and quite possibly a member of this community
