The media perception of the secretary doesn't help.  Have you ever noticed that in movies and commercials secretaries are always stereotyped?  There are two distinct variations:  firstly the blonde sexpot with short skirt, low-cut blouse and stilettos (invariably having an affair with the boss).  Then there is the 'frump' - aforementioned knee-length skirt and glasses (always glasses!) - who isn't having an affair with anyone, because the assumption is that no one will fancy her.

Call me cynical, but perhaps it's because I don't fit into either of these categories that I'm having such trouble finding a job...
