Age: *without hesitation or commenting that it is rude to ask a lady her age* Twenty-eight.

What kind of job are you looking for?: Society columnist, if the position is open. The society pages are what most women in the city, from all classes, read. I believe that a good society page will increase the circulation of the Tribune among woman readers.

And how much experience have you had at that?: Specifically as a society columnist? Very little. None to be exact. *confidently* But I have written articles for some of the womens' magazines under the nom de plume Ivy Burnett.

Background: Please don't consider me for the position solely because of my background, although it will have advantages for gaining admittance to certain high society events. *is from an influential upper crust family, but would rather achieve things on her own merit than her family name*

Describe your appearance and personality: I'm far too headstrong for my own good, I've been told, but it's needed if you want to make a name for yourself in this world. I work hard at whatever I do, and have a very good memory. Also, I try to dress neatly and tastefully, so as to not stand out. *is pretty, in a plain kind of way, with brown hair neatly pulled up underneath her hat, light blue eyes, and pale skin*

Family/Friends/Relatives: If you must know, then, my father is "the" J. R. Hillcrest, in the shipping industry. I am engaged, but I intend to continue working even after my marriage. *this idea has caused many disagreements with her fiance, who believes she should stay at home and be a trophy wife*
