A girl walked up to me and asked if I would be interested in a job, preferably a managerial position. After explaining that I pretty much ran my family business (obviously a job I wasn't planning on leaving) she did the whole "welllll if you ever change your mind blablabla" thing. At least she SORT OF took no for an answer! I know what you mean about feeling flattered about fitting into the A&F mold, I secretly felt that way, too.

Do they really have half naked men walking around? You're ungrateful you know that ... (= Man they sure are relentless. I figure I'd take the job until something better comes along. That's pretty much the same attitude I regarding men. Dude we don't have an A&F store in SA … Do they really have half naked men walking around?

Or not getting a clue. But if they looked like the men in their ads I don't think I'd be able to say no... I'm such a wuss. I cave at 6-packs. Wow, talk about persistant. Or not getting a clue.

Ha.<BR/><BR/>Jane, the Toronto PR market is notoriously hard to get into, it's such a who-you-know place with way more young PR professionals than positions. My suggestion is to look for organizations, or firms, that you're interested in and do some information interviews. I've had friends who've gotten in that way.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!

That guy makes Obama look like Malcolm X. Ha Ben's take is exactly right. I thought the job market was really competitive right now – remind me to refer people to A&F from now on.
