    The key takeaway of the article is she was so unemployable when she started that she had to apply everywhere and be willing to put in extra effort and accept lesser pay to get started. Then after that, she got lucky.

    That’s usually how it goes - especially for those who don’t have any defining traits.

      Agreed. She had the right connection, had the right look, was in the right place at the right time, etc. Not saying she’s not intelligent, creative, etc–she probably is or wouldn’t be in these roles. She definitely didn’t get to where she is through hard work, though.

      Not to mention Travelocity broke the law by allowing her to work for free while benefiting their company.

      In general, as long as an employee is engaging in activities that benefit the employer, regardless of when they are performed, the employer has an obligation to pay the employee for that time.

        They did. They paid her a rate of $0/hr, which she agreed to.
