70 | Is Iced Coffee Unprofessional at a Job Interview? | Preparing Sons for Adulthood

Would you take an iced coffee to a job interview? ☕ A viral TikTok from a corporate recruiter has sparked quite a debate about whether showing up to an interview with coffee in hand looks unprofessional—or whether it should matter at all.

In this Mom’s Perspective™ episode of Raising Boys with Purpose™, I’m sharing my thoughts on the iced coffee interview conversation and why there may be a bigger lesson here for moms raising teen and young adult sons.

As our sons prepare for their first jobs, internships, and careers, job interview preparation involves more than knowing how to answer interview questions. They’re learning how to make a strong first impression, understand workplace expectations, research a company, and decide whether a particular work environment is right for them.

So, is this really about the iced coffee? Let’s talk about it.
