Girl Applies For Internship, But The Company Shares A Photo They Found Of Her In A Bikini, Saying She Won’t Get It
Here’s a tutorial on how to screw up your growing company. First, declare you’re recruiting. Then, after receiving a CV, find the applicant on social media. Proceed to scroll through their uploads and when you find something personal, use it as a reason to reject them. Now, the most important part: repost their content, publicly shaming them for whatever they choose to do in their free time and congratulations, now your organization can ride the moral high horse straight into oblivion.
If theory isn’t enough for you, here’s a case study where Kickass Masterminds nails every single step of the guide.
Here’s a screenshot of the company’s Instagram story, publicly shaming its applicant
The woman in the picture was shocked a company could do such a thing

Immediately, people rallied to her defense

Michaela Okland, the face behind the tweet that made this story viral, said she learned about the whole ordeal after the applicant, Emily Clow, submitted it to her. “I thought it was lame as fu*k,” Okland told Bored Panda. Her Twitter account @SheRatesDogs has over 358K followers and provides a loud voice to people who otherwise could be left unheard.
“Most people are super pissed off and supportive of Emily,” Okland said. “It was a shitty circumstance but the situation has gotten Emily some cool new job opportunities! I think the most bizarre part to this was that the company never addressed it or apologized, they’ve done literally everything except that. I don’t think that’s usual.”

Things kept getting worse and worse

And eventually the company made all of its social media accounts private

However, this didn’t stop people from bashing them

When your name includes "a*s", "s**t" is in your mission statement and you are wearing a Guns N' Roses tank in your BUSINESS profile pic, you're living in a glass house...
Look, I'm edgy! A*s, s**t, damn. See how edgy I am?

The old "she was asking for it in that outfit" concept lives on. The company was wrong, but the comments about being careful what you post are more worrisome. Victim blaming, still? I am 58, I see a picture of a woman enjoying herself. Nothing illegal or unethical. Ladies, think about what you wrote. You are part of the problem.
Thank you! That's exactly what I was thinking, much more troubling that ppl are recommending self policing images that show women in 100% normal situations in appropriate attire. Oh hang on, is that the cry of "...but what was she wearing" being resurrected??? SMH
Load More Replies... It was not right what the company did in posting her insta and shaming her. However, people do need to realize that in today's job market companies do research applicants and even employees on social media. The internet is forever. Even colleges are looking at applicants social media accounts now.
So the problem is the picture. She is in an appropriate, morally acceptable swimsuit, having good clean fun. Wholesome even! Nobody wants to hire people like that. Or is the problem her looks? In the old days, we called that discrimination.

Rule #1 of Instagram: Don't trust what you see there. He is actually a dude at a bar using the "woman red bikini filter in a swimming pool"
How can anyone think it's professional to steal someone's picture to call them unprofessional?
I hate how companies now are like that, they search on the social media. is that why I don't get internships?? just cause I'm not Facebook or Instagram obsessed and prefer to use my data and phone space to things I like?
This is actually lawsuit worthy. Yes, companies do this all the time. As a hiring manager I would scroll through social media, but you never say it and really the only things that gave me pause would be hateful statements or illegal activity.
A voice of reason. Thank you. Be careful what you post -- meaning inappropriate content.

Looks like their whole business has vanished from the internet. *edit* I realise my original comment looked very neutral. I am extremely happy this is the case.
???????? It's a bathing suit?????????? There's nothing slutty or unprofessional about swimming.
Pot meet kettle. If your company uses the word "a*s" in it's name, it is rather pointless to point out the lack of unprofessionalism of others. Much less take the deeply unprofessional approach of objectifying a woman's body. Even if they were nude, your business is to be a business, not to objectify, ridicule, or attack anyone. In fact, when you do, you risk losing not only a potentially good employee, but potential clients because of your unprofessional action.
Wow. Well, that's a great way of screwing yourself over as a company. Instead of growing the hell up and taking down a picture they'd basically reposted without permission with the intent of shaming her, and apologizing for it, they do the childish thing and make all their social media accounts private. Doing something like that, I wouldn't trust them to be professional (oh, the irony). Honestly, I find it super creepy that companies somehow expect people to have no personal lives outside of work.
Again with the stereotype that women can't be both beautiful and smart. You got the "balls" to wear something that sexy? I respect that, come work for me! It's certainly more confidence than I would have, and you want a confident employee. I know people are likely to check your social media before they hire you- but nothing in that photo looks "irresponsible" or "unprofessional" to me, she's just in a swimsuit and looking good. Perhaps if you're playing with fireworks or snorting flour up your nose. Businesses that look at social media should view it understanding that women have posted pictures they felt were flattering since before the internet, and they will probably keep doing it. If that makes you not want to hire someone you won't have many people to hire.
When I was in my 20's, I had a black silk sheath and blazer I wore for presentations. It was stylish, tasteful and sophisticated. It stopped just above my knees and I wore moderate heels. My legs looked great - I have nice long legs. My blond hair was carefully styled and my make up perfect. Many of you would horrified! I looked good. Really good. Of course I was chosen to be a presenter by a group of men! Right? Wrong. I presented and demonstrated software applications I had written. It was my work. Nobody else could present it as well as I could. My outfit was appropriate. The company expected me to look my best in business attire. My work was as good as a man's, but I did not need validation by wearing the manly suits most women wore. I knew once I opened my mouth I would have their attention. I was confident enough to dress like a woman in a man's world. I did well because my work was good, not how I looked. Ana, are you that confident?

Does anyone actually enjoy these types of stories on here? I know I come to bp for the funny lists and cute things, but I'm honestly wondering.
They put up these posts because they generate outrage and thus clicks. This is another buzz feedy type site. I hang out here because it's the lesser of the two evils and because I'm bored. I skimmed through this article. Stupid company, stupid attention seeking idiot crying about it. Entitled b******t everywhere

First off, she’s better off without that internship, as she may have encountered even worse treatment the whole time she was there. However, isn’t publicly posting the picture without her permission, specifically to s**t-shame her, a lawsuit-worthy act? I do believe there’s precedent for this. This company may find she goes from applying for an internship to owning their asses lock stock and barrel.
She should sue. But tbh she's probably gonna be happier not working for these micromanaging a******s.
I don't think what they did was right. They could have sent her a private email and not put her on blast on their social media. However i do think it was very naive of her to follow their social media then post risque photos like that knowing they would see it. It's a very competitive market out there and companies do background on potential employees you can;t have pictures like that for them to view, you need to hide them or delete them. When i got out of college and started applying for job i made sure my Facebook was clean off all drunken pictures from parties. I knew they would look into it. Even if it's wrong, it happens so you have to be prepared for it to happen. If t was me i would of had them blocked form my story like i have some of my co works at my current job. They don't need to see everything about my life or my body.
You are comparing drunken pictures to a photo i a swimsuit? Should she wear a sack to the interview? They are going to find out she is a pretty young woman! To me, an old fudy-dudy, I see a young woman having fun with her friends. Nothing more. Would the picture be okay if she was ugly? Why do you see something to hide?
Load More Replies... I have been speaking to women my age, 58, and older. We are disgusted. Do you know how hard we worked to create the current opportunities for women? First, women in my mother's generation fought to get jobs outside of the few acceptable positions for women. I bounced off glass ceilings. By working harder and smarter, I was the first female bartender in popular bar. Unlike the men, I started as a cocktail waitress. As one of the first female computer programmers in an industry full of men, I was forced out, even though my work was more profitable because I was paid less. When women worked, we were insulted, harassed, and denied advancement. We still fight the "the way she was dressed, she deserved it" attitude. Any comments about being more vigilant about what you post, put the blame on her and others like her. The women hiring is the one who failed, nobody else. No gray area here. Imagine a man writing about how cute she looked. In a world where people are treated as equals, nobody would be so insulting.
Next time I look for a job, I will deactivate my facebook account (even though it is set to as private as possible). Other than saying "f**k Trump" about 100 times, I don't have much to be alarmed about. No employer has any reason to go digging through a person's social media account. I don't know why anyone would keep their accounts active and public while job searching (not that I blame this woman for what that company did), just a suggestion for all future job hunters. In fact, ideally, a job would not even know your name or have a picture of you before they look at your resume. Remember the whole John versus Jose thing with resumes?
Can't she sue them for using her personal pictures without permission?
In EU, this would be strictly illegal for the company to repost, even if they found it online due to the GDPR, as well as it being discrimination because of sex, for what is no special picture. Use it? Prepare for the fines and payout... GDPR may be an a*s, but not all a bad one...
"Remember that everything you put in social is public" says tje company, while forgetting that everything THEY put in social is public. The sheer lack of awareness is staggering. LMAO
You refer to her as a "girl"? She's a grown woman. Have some damn respect.
Would they do that to a male intern who wore a tiny racing brief and took a selfie at the beach?
Unfortunately, d**k pics don’t generally make it to social media. It wouldn’t be a bad idea, though. Wonder if there would be an increase in broslutshaming if we started uploading unwanted d**k pics to the senders’ Facebook Timelines.

The owner was just pissed that the potential employee looked better than her, that's the bottom line. She didn't want to be shown up. She wanted a sheep not a Lion. Hell in her own pics she's wearing tank tops and flipping the bird, and THAT'S professional? That lady is ridiculous. How about being confident and hiring other confident people? That's how you grow a "kick a*s" company. Idiot.
What was the initial business model for Kickass Masterminds? Either to run a business as in 1930's or to show the meaning of 'kicking the a*s but landing on your own face'.
That woman meant no harm to anyone in her photo. Kickass Masterminds demonstrated they aren't much of a mastermind in how they handled that. I wouldn't use them for consultations in anything.
How dare you HOW DARE YOU have a life outside wearing some of the most stupid, impractical and ugly outfits made in history 'the suit'
Stop putting photos online that you don't want EVERYONE to see. And read the fine print, because once you post it's not your photo anymore. Poor choice by the marketing firm, but this type of thing is only on the increase. DELETE your social media accounts now....and actually socialise.
why do that when you can bask in the attention, positive or negative, either way you're going to make it to posts like this in which everyone will see you.

The fact that this is still happening, is terrible. The job hunter dodged a bullet there.
You just know the recruiter/owner is feeling insecure and threatened by the womans body. Clearly all an issue of pure jealousy and insecurity. The owner should be ashamed of herself and her ensuing failure in her entrepreneurship is the karma she needs.
The s****y thing is that the company went LOOKING through her Instagram to find the picture and decided to be self righteous.
The company’s add was obnoxious, sweary and unprofessional Their s**t shaming of a woman in a bikini is obnoxious and misogynistic Their revenge porn posting is frankly sinister Their refusal to take it down once requested to is bullying and repugnant Their business acumen is appalling That is one bad marketing business The intern (free slave) seems to know what she’s doing on the other hand
I sometimes feel it is our problem that we find the human body itself and nudity inherently sexy. "Can" it be sexy? Yes, especially if you're doing something sexual to it. But the concept that "the body" while in a neutral state -has- to be sexual, is somewhat silly. We forget sometimes that the idea of breasts as sexual fetishes is a very american thing. In other places it's feet, no one gives a f**k about breasts, but damn that be one scandalous pedicure. What shocks me about both cultures is that neither of those shamefully sexy things are vaginas or penises, organs which directly relate to procreation. Not that those are anything to be ashamed of either. The human body is a useful and beautiful tool that has many uses, sex being only one of them. Go to med school or something, learn to see a body for everything that it is and not just a sexual object. Just because it can be used sexually doesn't make it sexual.
Please, bikinis are meant to be sexy. Unsexy swimsuits are out of fashion and not showy enough.

I get that once it is out there (www/internet) that you can't take it back. Thus I warn my young relatives about being careful of what they put out there. And a company has the right like anyone else to check things out via social media platforms. However, PUBLICLY shaming any potential candidate (vs emailing a basic "thank you but..." notice) is just plain wrong and very unprofessional. I think many are right that she dodged a bullet with this company.
It's so frustrating to see many women's first reaction is to compliment the woman on how she looks. THAT'S NOT THE POINT! It's irrelevant how she looks, it's about WHO SHE IS. Honestly, you make it really difficult for women to properly progress when you stay focused on their looks.
I personally don't have the time to scan social media profiles aside from linkedin before hiring. I guess lesson from this story, if your going to call someone out on the internet, be prepared to take retaliation. This business clearly wasn't.
There is some angry people down voting everyone ha ha

She looks incredible in that bikini. Good for her for standing up for herself. "S**t" shaming is probably one of the stupidest forms of hatred in today's world.
Hope it's not am EU company. They violated the privacy laws. It's forbidden for an employer to go search for someone's Instagram/Twitter/whatever. Unless the give it to you. (I know many companies do this, but that doesn't make it right.)
That photo of Casey is HOT A-F! /// That photo of Screwface Birdflipper (the owner?) is hilarious. I'm guessing she's jealous and that's the entire crux of this matter. Even better that it's made it to Bored Panda.

I OBJECT TO SLUTTY PHOTOS. Ahem... that said I didn't see a one. Why would it be okay to show the upper curves of breasts and not the under curves, makes no sense. In fact it is allowed, such as in fashion shoots, to show the ENTIRE breast as long as that guilty nipple is covered. Ridiculous. What year, no, what decade are we going to grow up?
What does the picture have anything to do with her ability to do her job. I mean I see a lot of half naked people on the beach in the summer. It is call swimming attire. Should people not go to the beach? The question is why are you triggerd by this? Do you find the human body objectionable?

Her choice of bikini is terrible? You can't be serious.

In fact it is allowed, such as in fashion shoots, to show the ENTIRE breast as long as that guilty nipple is covered. Ridiculous. What year, no, what decade are we going to grow up?
What does the picture have anything to do with her ability to do her job. I mean I see a lot of half naked people on the beach in the summer. It is call swimming attire. Should people not go to the beach? The question is why are you triggerd by this? Do you find the human body objectionable?
