0:00.0 | So you beautiful bastards. Hope you have it a fantastic Tuesday. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show and let's just jump into it. |
0:06.0 | And the first thing we're going to talk about today is the story coming out of Texas, which also don't worry. |
0:10.0 | You know a lot of people when they watch a show and I say a place that they live, they're like, oh, what do we do? |
0:14.0 | It's not you, or at least all of you. So there's a story that's blown up about the sexiest of topics, job applications. And specifically at the center of this story, |
0:22.2 | we have a woman whose job application went viral, Emily Clow. She lives in Austin, Texas. She |
0:26.6 | applied to an open marketing position at a startup called Kickass Mastermind. Clow saying she was |

0:35.6 | They then asked her to fill out additional application forms |

1:05.0 | job. Clow, obviously surprised, then messaged the company privately about the photo saying that she'd screenshot of the story, then saying, I appreciate your advice. To which kick-ass masterminds then replied, remember that |
1:14.5 | everything you put on social is public and future potential employers will see it. Best of luck in |
1:18.5 | your job, sir. Clow then responds again. I am aware of that as I worked with social media for two years. |
1:23.3 | I didn't realize wearing a bathing suit and appreciating my body made me an unprofessional. Most employers and companies, especially those who work with marketing, have that understanding. |
1:30.3 | I am disappointed to see a company I was very interested in, decided to go out of their way to shame an applicant. |
