‘Do you have to ask for consent now to shake somebody’s hand?’: Job seeker says ‘strange’ interview made her turn down job offer

A job-seeker went viral on TikTok after sharing the strange interaction she had with a recruiter who interviewed her for a full-time, office role. 

“I just had the craziest thing happen to me at a job interview,” Lauren (@scratchqueenlauren) said. As of Sunday morning, her five-minute video had amassed more than 1.4 million views.

By the time she recorded her TikTok, Lauren was already at home. Sitting in her car, she said she was “reminiscing” on “what just happened.”
