A Texas woman said she was shamed online by a potential employer who took a photo of her in a bikini from her Instagram account and shared it on the company's page while warning other applicants that it was unprofessional.
Emily Clow, who according to her Twitter account lives in Austin, said she applied for a marketing coordinator position at a business startup, Kickass Masterminds.
Clow told NBC News that shortly after applying, a company representative reached out to her and said the firm wanted to move ahead with the application process and recommended that she follow them on Instagram. Hoping to improve her chances of landing the position, she did.
But as she was scrolling through the company's Instagram story, Clow said she saw a photo of herself in a red two-piece bathing suit with a warning message to potential applicants.
Clow said the company had swiped the photo from her personal Instagram account, and when she saw it she was shocked.
"You don't expect a potential employer to do something like this," she told NBC. "To have someone that seems really intrigued and wants to meet with you, only to see this is shocking."
Since Clow's post has gone viral, the company's website and social media pages appear to have been taken down.

LOL!!
That’s cruel
It is ridiculous.
It was poor judgement on her part to post it, even on her personal account, but at the same time, the employer should not refuse to hire her, just because of that.
I think, if she was qualified and appeared to get along with the bosses, they should have hired her, then perhaps afterwards remind her that even her personal twitter posts can reflect on the company and please keep that in mind and then recommend gently that she remove potentially embarrassing content.
I’m gonna take a wild guess and figure she’s had sex
I’m only here to read the article...
Albino???
What kind?
“I’m only here to read the article...”
>>>>>>>>>
What article?
(You just knew that was coming!)
Is this a great country or what?
With that top I bet they bounce all over the place.
Does she hire out by the hour?
I’d give odds that the girl actually is kick-ass masterminds and was behind the whole thing.

You are correct.
That’s some superior marketing right there.
My first thought also.
Any time she moves they’ll be rollin’ rollin’ rollin’.
Kickass Masterminds, from Austin, is lecturing people about decorum.
Underboob meets overexposure.
Both sides have a lot to learn.
