Week 4 EOC: The Devil Wears Prada Deeper Meaning

In the movie "The Devil Wears Prada", there is a deeper meaning that could be applied to anyone looking to get a job in any field. In the movie, Anne Hathaway's character goes in for a job interview but as she goes through it, it is obvious that she hasn't prepared at for the interview. That's a big mistake for anyone trying to get a job especially if the company you are interviewing for is well known or has some reputation. To make yourself stand out from other interviewees it is important to research the company and people working there so that you know how they operate, what they do, and ask any questions about the company as a whole.

Another mistake that her character made was that she didn't dress correctly for the interview. This could be because of her lack of research. But as she went into the interview, she was under dressed compared to the people working there and it made her stand out. It also made her look like she didn't really care about what she was going there for. That's something important to consider when going in for an interview. If you don't take the time to dress the part, it makes you look like you don't want the job and the employer might disregard you for someone who is willing to take the time to dress the part.

Despite the mistakes of Hathaway's character, she got the job. But even though she got the job, he attitude towards working where she works isn't all that great. She just sees it as a job to get her by and not as something she could potentially grow into a career. On a couple occasions people tell her that millions of women would kill for her job. And that's something to take into consideration, if you don't really like a job and are just there to get by, you could get replaced by someone who is willing to put their everything into the job and sees the opportunities that the job could bring.

In short, the deeper meaning of "The Devil Wears Prada", is to be professional in what you do.
