“A North Carolina teen, who made headlines after a picture of his being coached by Target employees for his first interview went viral, returned to the store this week to thank the helpful employees in person,” ABC News reports.
Yasir Moore and his mother visited the Raleigh Target to extend their gratitude to Target employees Cathy Scott and Dennis Roberts for prepping the young male so well that he passed the first round for his job interview at the fast-food chain Chick-fil-A.
"They could have just sold my son a tie," Moore's mother, Najirah Parrish, told the local news station WTVD. "But they took the time, helped him tie the tie and talked to him. They treated my son with dignity, respect."
Moore was preparing for his first-ever job interview when he asked a Target employee where he could find the clip-on ties.
Instead of just pointing him in the right direction, Scott and Roberts offered Moore valuable advice like maintaining eye contact, giving the interviewer a firm handshake, and looking professional with a properly-tied tie and tucked-in shirt.
The heartwarming scene was captured by a nearby shopper in a photo that soon went viral.
"When he told me all this advice, I got my confidence back," said Moore. "And so when I went there, I was calm, cool, and collected."
"You usually see friends or family help you do that kind of stuff, not just strangers you've never met before."
As for the job, Moore reportedly had his second interview with Chick-fil-A on Saturday and was told to expect a phone call on Friday.
He said he asked his parents for a new tie just in case the same manager were to interview him again.
