Anyone who has ever been turned down for a job has undoubtedly wondered what made them unfit for the role. Was it your appearance, your lack of abilities, or something else entirely?

After being turned down for a job at TJ Maxx, 23-year-old Ash Putnam vented her anger on TikTok, where her video went viral.

Since then, her video has received tens of thousands of comments and over seven million views. Everyone in the comments seemed to agree on one point as the tattooed twentysomething pondered how young people could obtain entry-level employment.

On her popular TikTok, Putnam described how she applied for a job at a TJ Maxx and was rejected by an automated email “a few weeks” later.

Putnam was frustrated when she received only an automated email after her job application, so she visited the business to ask why she wasn’t hired. The staff told her it was due to a lack of experience compared to other candidates. She asked if it was because of her tattoos, but they denied it. She disagreed, mentioning how many intelligent people have tattoos or piercings. On TikTok, people speculated that her tattoos were the reason she was turned down. One commenter, a former TJ Maxx employee, shared that tattoos and piercings often don’t affect hiring, even if the business claims otherwise.
