Transcription by Polished Social Image Consultants

Announcer: How do I look? Am I projecting OK? It's Friday, time for the "Job Files".

Samantha von Sperling: My name is Samantha von Sperling, and I'm an image consultant. I offer etiquette lessons, social skills, interview skills ... the dining etiquette class is really every possible dining scenario ... for example, asparagus is to be eaten with your fingers ... this is very, very intimate work. It's something that you have to feel passionately about. It's not superficial. And when you can help somebody reach a new place in their life and you help somebody help land a job ... that is a tremendous feeling.

Announcer: Today's "Job File" was produced by Lindsay Thomas. The "Marketplace Morning Report" is produced and distributed by American Public Media.
