Storyboard Text

  • Slide: 1
  • Fits the Workplace
  • TagBack
  • Clean pants and a plain collared shirt: one step above the jeans and T-shirts TagBack employees wear.
  • Slide: 2
  • Too Casual
  • TagBack
  • Gym clothes from last night's game. Fine for the gym, but not a step above TagBack's everyday clothes.
  • Slide: 3
  • Clean, Neat, and Comfortable
  • TagBack
  • No stains or wrinkles, hair neat, and shoes Jordan can walk and sit in for an hour.
  • Slide: 4
  • Wrinkled and Uncomfortable
  • TagBack
  • A wrinkled shirt with a stain, and brand-new shoes that hurt, so Jordan keeps fidgeting.
  • Slide: 5
  • No Distractions
  • TagBack
  • Phone silenced and put away; headphones off. All of Jordan's attention is on the interview.
  • Slide: 6
  • Distracted
  • TagBack
  • Headphones on, phone in hand, and a shirt with a joke slogan that pulls attention away from Jordan's answers.
  • Slide: 7
  • Ready to Go
  • TagBack
  • A folder with two copies of the résumé, one for Ms. Grant and one to share.
  • Slide: 8
  • Not Prepared
  • TagBack
  • No résumé to hand over, and Jordan has to borrow a pen.
