Week 4 EOC: Deeper Meaning of The Devil Wears Prada

The film The Devil Wears Prada shows some very important things about several facets of the working world.   In the very beginning of the film the main character shows up to a job interview at a fashion magazine without researching how people dressed for that job.  To land the right job at the right place it is important to keep things like that in mind.  During the film it is also shown that it’s highly important to do some research into where you are applying, things such as who’s in charge, and what the company does from the ground up.  Knowing where a company comes from can help   many things easier especially during an interview, and in the long run knowing where that company is going and what kind of work is being done there.  On top of that, for any career it is important to eat sleep and breathe the work that you are getting into. Meryl Streep’s character very obviously was in the film, while Anne Hathaway's character didn’t really care what she was doing, and just needed some work.  This makes her look really disrespectful to her peers and to her boss as well.  It would be the same if while relating this to my field an Audio Technician throwing around microphones because they’re replaceable.  You have to respect the tools of your trade if you are to be trusted or respected in whatever field you are getting into.  That to me was the deeper meaning of The Devil Wears Prada.
