A reader writes: What is the line (if there even is one) between pretty and professional? I’m not quite a grad, but I’m trying to get part-time or temp work, and that’s included a few interviews. While I’ve felt professional enough, I’ve always wondered if it came off that way to others.

Yet, all too often this logic seems to escape the people who actually write job descriptions. What should be an exercise in storytelling has come to be dominated by a style that’s best described as “forensic”. Other descriptors could include inhuman and mechanical.
