Iced Coffee At a JOB INTERVIEW?! (Gen Z and Her Boss Discuss)

Is bringing your iced coffee to a job interview completely normal or is it a workplace etiquette debate waiting to happen? The internet has plenty of opinions about Gen Z, iced coffee, and workplace professionalism. But what happens when you put the question directly to a boss and a Gen Z employee? In this quick bonus conversation, Arcelia and a Gen Z perspective tackle the debate from two sides of the workplace. Is bringing your favorite drink into an interview normal behavior, or could it communicate something you don't intend? And how much should young professionals worry about unwritten expectations when entering a workplace? The conversation goes beyond the coffee cup into professionalism, workplace etiquette, generational differences, first impressions, and learning how to read the room; especially when you're stepping into a professional environment for the first time. For young women entering the workforce, these small questions can matter because professionalism isn't a list of written rules. It's learning to recognize the culture you're walking into, understand what's expected, and make thoughtful choices about how you present yourself. And for the adults hiring and mentoring Gen Z? It may be worth asking whether some workplace expectations are obvious or just obvious to you. So...iced coffee at a job interview: yes or no? Watch or listen to the bonus episode and decide for yourself. Then send it to the Gen Z employee, boss, or mentor who needs to weigh in.
