Sure, she had a fine book of clips and all, but so did a few other candidates. What they didn't have, however, was the guts to wear pink and orange together and make it work. In the end, she took a job at a different magazine, but if only she knew how important that sweater was to getting the offer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-22616684703074640042008-08-01T11:37:00.000-04:002008-08-01T11:37:00.000-04:00I could have lived with "I can do without dogs".
