Week 4 EOC: Deeper Meaning of Devil Wears Prada

In the first 20 minutes of the movie, The Devil Wears Prada, it has deeper meaning of how to interview for a job and what you should and shouldn't do. Something that stood out in the movie was when the main character Andy was going in for her interview and she knew nothing of the company for the position she was applying to. "The more you learn about your callback company, the better you're going to feel walking in that door. Knowledge is power. Knowledge will make you more confident in your attitude and your answers. (http://resumebycprw.com/resume-articles/resume_a24.htm)." It is definitely worth to do the research of the company that you are applying for and what they are involved in. A company doesn't want to hire someone who doesn't know anything about them, but they want someone who knows something about their company. Another thing that stood out in the movie is that you need to dress appropriately for the company. If they dress a certain way or have a certain style, you should definitely try to dress accordingly. "Know the dress-code of the firm, and dress accordingly (http://blog.chegg.com/2014/03/05/the-things-you-need-to-do-before-an-interview/)." The main character Andy, did not dress up to fit the part of the company for the interview. As she walked through the building you can tell that she didn't fit in from the start and it showed. Some of the characters would talk about her and her clothes. She doesn't belong in the fashion world at all. During the Andy's interview, she is very soft-spoken and she seems to fluster with her words quite a bit. "Don't be soft-spoken. A forceful voice projects confidence (http://www.quintcareers.com/interviewing-dos-donts.html)." You need to be confident in the things you say in your interview. Andy is very honest in giving her answers, but there is a lack of confidence in her voice.
