The job interview

The document is an extract from the movie “The Devil Wears Prada”.

In this extract, you can see Andrea, the main character of the movie.

She lives in NYC and she wants to be a journalist.

At the beginning, we see her morning routine:

- she brushes her teeth, she wears casual clothes, she walks and takes the subway and she eats an onion bagel.

In this extract, Andrea has a job interview with the assistant of Miranda, the boss of a fashion magazine.

But finally, she sees the boss in person. The boss is very strict, impolite, talkative, and impatient.

Andrea speaks about herself, her experiences, and her qualities.

She is not adapted for this job.

She is not stylish, fashionable, glamorous, or skinny.

Nevertheless she has many qualities: she is smart, she learns fast, she works very hard and she is polite.
