A Note To Prospective Job Seekers

Today, I saw The Nanny Diaries. This was, perhaps, not my best movie-going choice ever, but none the less, I have come away from the experience with a valuable job-interview-don't. As the film opens, the main character Annie, played by Scarlett Johansson, is a recent college graduate seeking employment in the financial field. She interviews for a highly competitive position. Her chosen outfit: a gray skirt suit. A wise decision. Her choice of hosiery, however, not so wise. I shudder, even now, at the recollection that our heroine, Annie the eventual Nanny, wears, with her smart gray skirt suit, white ankle socks.
