Popular TV personality reveals how she was rejected by employers because of her dress code

Most employers emphasize on dressing appropriately or even officially when attending job interviews and one TV anchor knows this too well.

Joey Muthengi, a Citizen TV anchor, recently revealed that her career has not been as smooth as people think.

She stated that at some point she even borrowed money from her brother to print and distribute her CV, contrary to claims that she made it to the top by dating prominent politicians.

“I have worked my a** off in this industry since 2009. I've been without a place to call my own, been rejected from job interviews cause I wasn’t dressed the correct way.

“Borrowed money from my bro to go print and distribute my CV... yet everyone stayed silent b/c they didn't know me. Been told I wasn’t the right fit numerous times, been in a Ma3 with nothing but my last 50 Bob,(While I was on my 1st TV Show), hanging around Capital FM hoping they might need someone to voice their next ad...

“Being rejected for jobs time and time again…,” she revealed.

Joey further stated that some potential male employers asked to meet her in pubs rather offices and despite her strong background in journalism, at some point all this was meaningless.

“I'd like to believe that every job I've ever gotten...I've gotten it on merit. To the bloggers...Call me (Seriously, nobody has called me for a comment in years. Yet the articles keep coming...).

“Ya'll know my number. I'm happy to give a comment. The tarnishing of my name is not fair,” she said.

This comes after she recently stated that she prefers older men during a TV interview. Joey reiterated that she was misquoted as her comments were only meant for an entertainment segment.

“It was a bit I did for an entertainment TV segment. Never have I ever nor am I planning on ever dating a known or unknown Kenyan Politician or older man for profit.

“Still standing...clearly sarcasm doesn't translate well on Social Media. So I apologize for my delivery but thank you for those who got it. Love you,” she wrote.
