Even though the story is about hiring a copywriter and such, it really hits home. We always stress issues like having your paperwork in order, acting in a professional manner in sticky situations, and so on. Mr. Saxe in his article gives great concise advice for any professional in any industry.  This article is a must read. And will be a must read for Jack graduate students at SVA.
