New challenge: use the sentence “Karen was a mediocre salesperson.” in a fic. PolySci sounds about right though. Liberal Arts, maybe.

Maybe Karen majored in Political Science. I could see lessons learned on how to try and convince *cough* manipulate *cough* to her point of view could easily translate to a sales job.

Dang it. Now I’m wondering what Karen DID major in, if it wasn’t business. And NLM, the ambitious comment— do you think that’s more of a fanfic becoming reality thing? Like Pam drawing hands?

Yup. Ryan was very much a “he has a business degree” hire. I wouldn’t doubt that Karen’s interview was similar to Michael’s. It was a courtesy. I think they would have seriously considered Jim.

Ryan obvs wasnt qualified but I took that as a commentary on business putting too much weight on degrees, assuming “well educated” people automatically make good managers when they often dont

So I can imagine in her interview it was maybe clear she was chasing the status of the job more than she was actually qualified, she’s not portrayed as a particularly skilled saleswoman ever

Back to Karen: I see “ambitious” thrown around as a descriptor for her a lot but ambitious doesn’t mean hard worker or good worker and there were several signs she wasn’t either

Thanks warrior, I certainly didn’t come back rich! But had a good time at the shows we went to (Magic Mike and O, both are great!) and only one blister on my foot 😆

Also didn't Jan storm in during Karen's interview and cause that whole scene? Considering what Karen told Jim about Jan, I wouldn't have put it past her to say something to Wallace too.

Oh right! I forgot about that part of her interview. Though to be fair, is anyone in D-M upper management known for their professionalism? Must be how she got Utica.

It wasnt cool of Wallace to bait her but Karen badmouthing Michael, terrible as he was, in her interview wasnt exactly the mark of professionalism

I'd feel worse about it, but you know, I don't. *shrugs* I wonder how she screwed it up though.

Hmm...that's true. And kind of shitty that Ryan did.

Casual reminder that even after Michael botched his interview and Jim took his name out of the running, Karen still didn't get the job at corporate.

Her dress also comes in yellow and I feel like I need it in my life. Also needed? More 60’s Cocktail Party Jenna.

I was glad to see that even Jenna Fischer has zero control over her cat. Made me feel better about my own cats and their actions. :-)

No, I’m also concerned about that. Plus, it’s been almost a week and that cake is uncovered. But also, I’m not about to instastory what’s in my fridge right now either (but it’s not a cat)
