EOC Week 4: Devil Wears Prada - Deeper meaning

The Devil Wears Prada is about a woman who has just graduated with a degree in Journalism and is looking for a job. She’s pretty much given up searching for anymore jobs and decides to try working for a fashion magazine as a last resort. She goes for an interview and very surprisingly gets a job as an assistant to an editor-in-chief.
            She did many things wrong for the interview. First, she didn’t do any research about the place she was looking to work at. Next, she didn’t dress right at all. Lastly, she made comments that she shouldn’t have. If she had done her research, she would have dressed in something high fashion that was in season at the time, she would have known the person she would be working for, and she wouldn’t have felt so awkward. When she was talking to the person that interviewed her, she didn’t lie about who she was but the way she answered the questions made her seem totally unprepared (which she was) and very awkward.

            I think she got the job from the last comments she made. The boss said something negative about her and she fired back with a confident statement about why she should hire her because she’s smart and a good worker. If she acted like that the whole time and was prepared with the right clothes and research, she probably would’ve gotten the hiring offer before she made the comment. If she had just walked away instead of commenting, she would’ve been a face in a crowd and forgotten the next hour.
