To add insult to injury the unprofessional text from an assistant manager at Miller & Carter mocked the applicant with a laughing face emoji and disrespectful language. The employer concerned commented that the text message was intended for the manager and was sent to the applicant in error.
Jenny Holloway, CEO of FashionCapital and sister company Fashion Enter, said:
