In New York, the simple and naive just-graduated in journalism Andrea Sachs is hired to work as the second assistant of the powerful and sophisticated Miranda Priestly, the ruthless and merciless executive of the Runway fashion magazine. Andrea dreams to become a journalist and faces the opportunity as a temporary professional challenge. The first assistant Emily advises Andrea about the behavior and preferences of their cruel boss, and the stylist Nigel helps Andrea to dress more adequately for the environment. Andrea changes her attitude and behavior, affecting her private life and the relationship with her boyfriend Nate, her family and friends. In the end, Andrea learns that life is made of choices.
Not only does the film reveal the challenges of obtaining job opportunities for women in a career, but establishes some of the do's and don'ts when you are set and present for a job interview. For example, Don't come to an interview in casual attire similar to what Andrea was wearing in the film. Do your research on the company you have applied beforehand so you can understand the company and develop proper questions. Arrive 10 minutes early prior to the interview start time or earlier if the event or employer instructs you to do so. Treat other people you encounter with courtesy and respect. Their opinions of you might be solicited during hiring decisions. Maintain good eye contact during the interview. Be honest and be yourself — your best professional self. Dishonesty gets discovered and is grounds for withdrawing job offers and for firing. You want a good match between yourself and your employer. If you get hired by acting like someone other than yourself, you and your employer will both be unhappy.
