Corner Office, New York Times; Interview with Bobbi Brown, Founder of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics: High Heels? They Just Don’t Fit:
"Q. If you could ask only one or two questions in a job interview, what would they be?
A. Why do you want to work here, and what do you love?...
Q. What’s your best career advice?
A. When you’re talking to someone, look them in the eye. Always tell the truth. And you have to start at the bottom. I don’t care who you are and what you do, you have to start at the bottom. If there’s a job as a receptionist at a company you would love to work at and there’s nothing else, get that job. And don’t just sit there.
A lot of people have moved up in this company. Be open and be a sponge. I’ve always been a sponge. You’re around really cool, creative people, you see what they’re doing, how they’re dressing, what they’re reading, what their tastes are. I mean that’s what makes someone better at what they do — they’re just open to what’s going on."
