What did she do right and What did she do wrong? in this movie the main character doesn't wish to be a taxi dancer anymore, she wants to be someone do something better then that, so she gets dressed up with you black knee high skirt, black tights, a poka dot blouse under her black sweater, and her green grandma cardigan, and goes into a employment office looking for the job.
"Those are the best odds I ever had.
" (Shirley Mclaine playing Chairty Valentine)
Now when she went to go talk to the guy for a job she was nervous and that is okay, when he started talking to her he was asking what kind of experience she has had, and she kept denying any kind of experience that can require her to work in an office. The things she did wrong was beg for a job and cry in front of the guy, she also tried to hard (by the way she dressed) and the things that she did correct was she went out there and tried, even though she got knocked down, and the fact that she never said anything negative about what she does. When going into any kind of interview,meeting or corporate setting you never want to give any kind of negative energy, and Ms. Valentine did a good job at that.
