[quote=Anonymous]I know DCUMers don't like anecdotes like this but I remember when I was applying to accountancy firms to do my articles many years ago in London. I interviewed with Deloitte Haskins & Sells, as it was called then, and during the final interview I was asked by the hiring manager whether I would mind working in one of their satilite offices rather than their London office because he felt I was too "feminine" (his words) to work in the London office. This was 26 years ago now. All through my career as an accountant, if I had a $ for everytime I was told by clients that I didn't look like an accountant or that I was too attractive (whatever that meant) to be an accountant, I would be a very rich woman now. Please don't take this as a brag, it was just my experience.[/quote]
