A Sunday edition of The New York Times from early February includes a Corner Office interview that’s worth reading. Adam Bryant interviewed Amy Astley, editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue. As is his custom, he asked about questions she asked of applicants. Because her answer is better than my powers to describe it, I quote: "I'll see someone who [on his or her résumé] was a waitress for many summers and I'll say ‘Well, tell me about that.’ In today's upwardly mobile résumé, you don't always see that. You often see kids who've never had a job. But I love seeing someone who scooped ice cream or was a waitress. To me, it means they had to make some money and had a job dealing with the public. And what was that all about? Tell me about it."
