According to the beauty lover, from London, her new employment lasted just one hour - as she was sacked 60 minutes after arriving.
The young woman claimed that it was all because of her outfit, which the HR at the company allegedly had an issue with.
Fuming, she took to Instagram where she showed off the clothing she was wearing - however, thousands of social media users seemed to agree with the employer.
Karishma allegedly arrived at her new job wearing a figure-hugging mini skirt with a high slit, which she had paired with almost sheer tights and chunky boots.
The outfit also included a cosy cropped knitted cardigan in a similar colour scheme, which featured a low-cut neckline.
Sharing the alleged incident to her 303k followers online, Karishma said: ''She doesn't know it yet but in one hour she's about to get fired by HR for her 'inappropriate and distracting' work outfit'.''
Luckily, while it may have been brutal at the time, it seems that the young woman used the incident to truly focus on her ''dream''.
Karishma went on in the caption: ''If I don't get fired I would never have started working on my dream - literally there is no bigger proof than this when I say everything happens for a reason.''
The now-viral video has since taken the internet by storm, amassing more than an astronomical 5.2million views and over 32,000 likes.
Thousands of internet users flooded to comments where many agreed on one thing - the outfit was indeed not fit for work, they thought.

One person said: ''Baby you're in a short shirt skirt and a crop top HR is right.''
Someone else chimed in: ''I'm with the HR on this one.''
A third commented: ''inappropriate and unprofessional for a work setting. freelancer or not.
Can you be dress coded for wearing crop tops in public?
The concept of being "dress coded" typically applies to specific environments such as schools, workplaces, or certain establishments where dress codes are enforced to maintain a particular standard or atmosphere.
In public spaces, however, the situation is generally more relaxed and governed by societal norms rather than strict rules.
That said, whether or not you can be dress coded for wearing a crop top in public largely depends on the context and location:
Public Spaces: In most public spaces, like parks, streets, and beaches, wearing a crop top is generally acceptable and unlikely to result in any formal repercussions. People have the freedom to dress as they choose, provided they adhere to basic standards of decency and local laws.
Establishments and Venues: Some restaurants, shops, or clubs may have their own dress codes. It's possible that a crop top might not meet the dress requirements for more formal venues. In such cases, staff may politely request that you adhere to their dress code or deny entry.
Schools and Workplaces: Educational institutions and workplaces often have dress codes in place. Crop tops may be considered inappropriate in these settings, and you could be asked to change into more suitable attire.
Cultural and Regional Considerations: In certain cultures or regions, norms and expectations around acceptable clothing can vary widely. It's always a good idea to be aware of and respect local customs and dress codes when travelling.
''This is a get coffee with the girls fit.''
A professional shared their view, writing: ''HR Director here. Girly pop you are so cute, the outfit looks fab on you.
''I do agree with the HR team that it's not work appropriate though.
''Freelance contractor or not, they DO have jurisdiction over the dress code for all people 'employed' by the company, regardless of your status as a full employee or not.
''Similar to how a business can require customers to wear shirts and shoes while on the premises.''
