It’s so interesting to hear but it makes me think how things were so much easier back then. Imagine wanting to work somewhere so you just send over your resume and get an interview! I wonder why things are so different today

I think as Gen X, we have a view of work that millennials and Gen Z do not have. We weren’t looking for emotional support from our employers. we were looking for a job. i’ve never heard you say something and thought God that seems horrible. I just thought that seems normal. I worked in event planning and PR and there was always stuff like what you described. I had a boss who enjoyed making people cry. My goal was never to let that man see a tear come from my eye, and he never did. Also, I have an Art History degree too ;)

I think it’s interesting for young people to know we all started at very lowly jobs…

Your memory is so impressive. The details that you recall are things I’ve completely forgotten about…such as searching WWD for job postings.

I loved banana republic a long time ago, in the 90s. It was very different than how it is now

I find this so fascinating! I interned at Self magazine and Cynthia rowley and they were the best best days. Wish I would have stayed in fashion but, yes. The jobs were hard to get.

I love hearing your Calvin stories. I interviewed there in the 90s as well, I didnt get the job but I remember specifically them telling me about the flower thing at the interview.

im loving this series... its takes me back to my 20s (im now 45) and loved the hustle, the pace and working my way up in the creative industry. I was a fashion visual merchandiser.

People now are just so entitled to everything and don’t realize work and the value of a dollar
