INTERIOR, OFFICE: DAY: Sarah enters ABC Advertising wearing an oversized, short-sleeved white sweater, gathered at the waist; black, knee-length pants; and three-inch, red leather wedge shoes with an ankle strap. Under her arm is her portfolio case. She stops at the front desk.
SARAH: Hello. Sarah here to see Sally, please.
RECEPTIONIST: Sure. Have a seat. She’ll be right out.
Sarah wanders across the room to look at a collection of shoes on a shelf.
SALLY: Sarah?
Sarah turns to see a short woman.
SARAH: Sally. Hi. How are you?
The two shake hands. Sarah towers over her interviewer.
SALLY: Good. Thanks for coming in. We’re just going to meet in here. She motions to a room across the hallway. Wow. Look at those shoes. I love them.
Sarah smiles and follows her into a large meeting room.
SARAH: Thanks. I figured a little height booster might be necessary with all the people I’m going to meet with today. You know. Taller. Powerful.
The two sit down at a long table.
SALLY: Oh. No. You’re just meeting with me today.
SARAH: Really?! I just assumed I would be meeting with at least a couple of creative directors.
SALLY: Nope. I’m the first stop of many to get a job here. So, let’s get started. Tell me a little about yourself.
SARAH: Uh, sure. Okay. Well, I’m from Missouri and went to the University of Kansas …
SALLY: Was that full-time or part-time?
SARAH: Um, full-time. After graduating, I took a job at a small advertising agency here in Denver …
SALLY: Was that full-time or part-time?
SARAH: (annoyed) Full-time.
CUT TO: DAY: Fifteen minutes later. Sarah is shifting in her chair.
SARAH: So after graduate school in San Francisco, I was recruited to work at a large agency in Seattle where—
SALLY: Full-time or part-time?
Sarah takes a deep breath and sits back in her chair.
SARAH: Full. Time.
