Although my short trip to New York was quite a whirlwind, I managed to return to Missouri a little wiser (and a little poorer -- two days of venti lattes and pretzel croissants was surprisingly pricey).
I learned to never underestimate a pair of hire-me heels. I found the perfect cognac pumps, my first big girl buy, that put a spring in my step even when I was going on mile four and blister seven.
More important than a pair of shoes, I learned that if you enjoy the interview, you're bound to enjoy the job, too. Other tell-tale signs a profession is right for you:
...if you compliment the interviewer on her shoes, because you have the same ones, and she compliments you on your skirt, because she has the same one.
...if, during an interview, you feel like you could grab a cup of coffee and gab about social media, fashion blogs, and the invaluableness of twitter with the higher ups for the rest of the afternoon.
..if the thought of waiting three whole weeks to start a job seems insufferable.
