\n\u201cThey couldn\u2019t even call me, they just sent me some automated email.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anyone who has ever been rejected from a job has probably wondered what made them unqualified for the position. Was it a lack of skills, your presentation style, or something else?<\/p>\n
Ash Putnam, 23, was recently rejected a job at TJ Maxx and vented her displeasure on TikTok, where her video went viral.
\nHer video has since received over 7 million views and tens of thousands of comments. As the 20-something with tattoos asked how young people might find entry-level jobs, everyone in the comments appeared to agree on one point.<\/p>\n
Putnam revealed on her viral TikTok video how she applied for a job at TJ Maxx, only to receive an automated email \u201ca few weeks\u201d later denying her application.

Unsatisfied with the response, Putnam went to the store where she applied and challenged the personnel.<\/p>\n
\u201cI went in today and was like, \u2018So what was the reason why I didn\u2019t get hired?\u2019 She was like, \u2018Oh you just don\u2019t have enough experience there was candidates that had more experience than you\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI asked her if it was about my tattoos obviously because I know a lot of places don\u2019t like tattoos. She said that wasn\u2019t the reason, I don\u2019t feel like that\u2019s true but whatever I will leave it at that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJust because I have tattoos does not imply I won\u2019t be a good employee. That makes no sense to me. Some of the most educated people I\u2019ve ever met have tattoos and piercings,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
