She thought that she wanted to marry him so that she could continue being a spoiled and pampered princess, with a rich husband and no job. Of course, she finally realized that money wasn't everything, and gave it up to try and strike out on her own... teaching us all not to live a life that just doesn't feel right. 7 Lying To A Potential Employer During An Interview More career mistakes - and this was a big one, a job interview that not only didn't get her the job she wanted, but actually lost her the job she already had! The issue was that during her interview, her boss walked into the restaurant, causing her to start a ridiculous series of lies. She could have just told the interviewer that she spotted her boss and rescheduled, but instead, she lost both jobs. More lessons in just being honest! 6 Refusing To Stand Up To Her Father Admittedly, this is something that Rachel knows is one of her weaknesses - she just struggles to stand up to her father because she just shrinks when he's around... but this gets a little ridiculous!
Just make sure they know that you're serious about the whole thing, too; that you're not just there just to have fun over the summer and just try to make some cash while you're at it. Put all your effort into it, as well. It's not too hard of a job, but if you put everything into it, then you'll get everything else out of it that you need.

Learn from Rachel, and keep it professional in the workplace. 4 Getting A Cat Based On Looks Another time that Rachel messes up because she thinks that looks are more important than substance - and one that animal lovers just can't get over.
